THE KING OF APPLES

Following Shinano Sweet, Sun Fuji—also known as “The King of Apples”—has arrived from my friend Takada-kun’s fruit farm in Kami Ina. This one is equally amazing, offering a perfect balance between gentle sweetness and refreshing tartness, and it’s hard to say which cultivar tastes better. I also love its name—the sun and Mt. Fuji. Both are sublime.

友人の高田君がやっている上伊那の果樹園から、シナノスイートに続いてサンふじ、別名「りんごの王様」が到着した。こちらも優しい甘さと爽やかな酸味の絶妙なバランスを持った素晴らしいりんごで、シナノスイートと甲乙をつけるのが難しい。名前もいい。太陽と富士。どちらも崇高。
