You'll find them labelled sweet persimmons, fuyu fruit and sometimes non-astringent persimmons. Look for them at your greengrocer or supermarket and enjoy their mild, refreshing flavour while they are in season. This Japanese variety is easily distinguished by its pale orange to deep sunset colour and slightly squat, flattened top.
