Nansui Pear is a popular Japanese pear from South Shinshu, known for its crunchy texture and sweet, juicy flesh.
It has an average sugar level of over 14 Brix, making it one of the sweetest among Japanese pears.
With almost no sourness, the rich sweetness and juiciness fill your mouth — perfect for those who love sweet pears.
This pear also has good storability compared to other varieties, so it stays fresh longer and is popular as a gift.
Nansui Pear was originally developed in Nagano Prefecture and is still mainly grown there.
Nagano has little rainfall and long hours of sunshine, allowing the fruits to absorb plenty of sunlight.
In addition, the inland basin climate creates a big temperature difference between day and night, which helps increase the sweetness of Nansui Pears.
