Recently, domestic dried fruits have become more common, but dried pears are rarely seen. That's why aren't you curious about what kind of taste and texture they taste? The best fit for dried pears is not the sweet and soft red pears like Kosui or Hōsui, but the green pear, which has a tangy flavor and a crispy texture. With a letter from the orchard, please savor the flavor of pears reborn by drying them as if reading aloud. Sweet and slightly refreshing. New yet nostalgic. The variety I chose is the 20th century. The green pear variety chosen for the dried pear has been cherished since the twentieth century for its refreshing acidity and gentle sweetness. The main ingredient is the Gold 20th Century green pear variety, cultivated in an orchard in northern Kyoto. Unlike the red pear, which is popular for its sweet varieties with almost no acidity, the twentieth century allowed for a lower sugar content and slow low-temperature drying to concentrate the sweetness. The moderate lingering acidity adds a refreshing accent to the flavor. The texture shifts from crispy to moist, yet each slice offers the same fresh, satisfying taste of the 20th century. The dried pears, sliced and shaped like stationery, become sweeter the more you chew, offering a taste that is new yet somehow nostalgic. Perfect for tea, snacks, and fruity appetizers. The scene where you chew and savor each page as if reading a letter from a pear suits you everywhere in everyday life. For example, when you want to make tea and take a break. Serve it with Japanese tea or float it over black tea like fruit tea, and the warmth of the tea and the sweetness of dried pear will soothe both body and mind. It's also recommended to enjoy it with bitter chocolate as a snack with tea. Perfect as a snack at the end of the day when you want to relax and enjoy a drink. In addition to Western liquors that pair well with dried fruits like wine, whiskey, and highballs, it also pairs surprisingly well with dry sake. With cream cheese, it's easy to put it on crackers to make fruit canapés, wrap it in prosciutto, or make a slightly stylish appetizer.
