Kaki + Nashi = yum!



Persimmons and Asian pears are two very good things about fall in Japan. I ate Asian pears in Oregon sometimes, but they were expensive, and I think I only ate a persimmon once in my life before coming to Japan. Now they are two of my favorite fruits. (Another is karin (quince), but I'll save that for another time.)
The nights are getting a little cold, but during the day the air is warm and dry. (Hurray! No humidity!) I hope this lasts for a while, but the prediction is for an unusually cold winter, so I'll enjoy fall and the harvest as long as I can.
