A Recipe To Bust Hangovers? Try Japanese Persimmon Bruschetta!
When it comes to gourmet food and ingredients, you know you can’t go wrong with Japanese food/produce!
We all know my love for Japanese Fruits — the taste, the sweetness, and high standard of quality which distinguishes itself from other produce!
We were really excited when the team ABC Cooking Studio invited us to a tasting event in collaboration with J-FEC to share more about Japanese Produce!
The Benefits Of This Autumn Fruit - Persimmons!
While autumn calls as we approach the end of the year — the highlight of the event’s produce was Japan’s representative autumn fruit, kaki (柿) - Persimmon! Not going to lie but prior to this tasting — I never had Japanese Persimmons! I was surprised to find out that Japanese Persimmons are actually really soft and sweet! It’s also filled with benefits like - rich in vitamin C and tannis, and aids in preventing hangovers! I totally need this. These orange babies are usually in season from September to December.
Other than enjoying fresh persimmon, the main highlight of this event was to introduce this easy snack — Persimmon Bruschetta!

Our Review:
Refreshing and light to the palette, I enjoyed the bruschetta thoroughly! And of course, sipping a glass of Japanese Apple Juice with it, mmmm… so good! The sweet persimmons complemented the savoury and cream cheese really well. An elevated experience without killing my wallet, i can definitely see myself re-making these at home again and again!

Where to get Japanese Persimmons In Singapore?
We all know how premium Japanese fruits are usually, like melons, peaches and muscat grapes that can go up to a steep price up to $100! You’ll be happy to know that these sweet persimmons are really affordable (priced below $6), and can be easily found in Japanese supermarkets like DON DON DONKI and Meidi-ya!
Grab some persimmons while it’s still in season and attempt this tasty snack!
