Domestic dried fruit has been increasing lately, but dried pear has a rarity. We use the green pear, which has an acidity suited to dried pear and a crisp texture. Please taste, as if reading, the flavor of the pear reborn through drying, in a single letter delivered from the orchard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to enjoy dried pear<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chew and savor each slice well, as if reading<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because Nijisseiki has modest sugar content, slowly drying it at low temperature steadily concentrates the sweetness. The acidity that remains just right is also a refreshing accent to the flavor. The texture is reborn from crisp to moist, but the satisfaction of each slice is the very eating-quality of fresh Nijisseiki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tea accompaniment or snack<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The scenes that suit \u201cNashi kara no Tegami\u201d\u2014chewing and savoring each slice well, as if reading\u2014exist anywhere in daily life. For example,When you want to brew some tea and take a break<\/strong>Served alongside Japanese tea, or floated in black tea like a fruit tea, the warmth of the tea and the sweetness of the dried pear bring rest to both body and mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with Western liquor or sake<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can also enjoy it as a snack when you want to drink slowly at the end of the day. Besides Western liquors that go with dried fruit\u2014such as wine, whisky, and highballs\u2014it also pairs surprisingly well with dry sake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The background to the birth of Nashi kara no Tegami<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pear is a fruit native to Japan. It seems people of the Jomon period took in calories from nuts and supplemented moisture with pears, and through the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras\u2014and enjoyed even in the Heisei era\u2014it is one of the fruits representative of twentieth-century Japan. Until the twentieth century, red pears such as Kosui and Hosui were popular, and it was in the early twentieth century that people began eating green pears too. The green pear bearing the name Nijisseiki (\u201ctwentieth century\u201d) was born around this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, both red and green pears had various varieties improved and increased their kin, and sweet red pears became more and more popular, while the crisply sweet-and-sour green pear that made a stir in the twentieth century is becoming something close to a nostalgic taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer vacation begins with watermelon and ends around the time you eat pears after a bath. To express a pear that revives somehow nostalgic memories, we have likened it to a letter from a dear old friend, made it a letter containing several slices of green pear, and deliver it to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
