Hoshigaki - 55 Day aged -2025 Vintage

Local Hachiya persimmons sourced from Spurrell Foraging's Silvan farm in the middle of Autumn. Picked, peeled, and strung up to air dry in the winter breeze, including a daily massage by hand to help even drying. They are then aged for a further 2 months to develop a stunning sugar bloom. 

These hoshigaki have been dried to a lower hydration level than the traditional jelly consistency. The concentrated, medium-firm fruit has brought on amazing complexity and show-stopping sugar bloom development.

NOTES: Black tea, butternut pumpkin, banksia honey, wheat grass, wattle blossom, brandy.

Enjoy this hoshigaki cut into thin slices accompanied with a tannin heavy tea, peated old fashioned or an oily, white. 

Each hoshigaki is its own, unique fruit so size and sugar bloom will vary slightly. They will weigh around 39-46g. This will be 20-50 slices worth depending on the thickness cut. I highly recommend channelling your inner Nonna, Baba or Yaya at the deli and slice as thin as humanly possible. 

Each Hoshigaki is numbered. If you want to try and get one of your favourite number, please send through 3 number choices in the ordering notes and I will try my best to get one of them selected for you.
