Japanese Peaches & the Okayama Shimizu Hakuto White Royal

Japanese peach season is coming to an end … so let’s try a couple and talk about summer and peaches! #japanesepeach

[@chimi_and_wildflowers]

Can't believe it has been five years already since you and Kanai sat on that same bench trying the Miyazaki Mango. Still one of my most favorite livestreams. There was another time where you were walking in that exact spot for a livestream when I pointed out your Miyazaki Mango. Those were the days of indoor camping and midnight snacks tasting from Frosty the refrigerator. Wow, time is like a fast moving train sometimes.

[@onlyinjapanGO]

You remembered! It’s my fruit eating spot 😂

[@kurtisgillen7658]

I love peaches. I still wanna try japanese strawberries. Great episode.

[@calmgood-hh9zp]

i like watch you video because the vibe , your voice and japan japan . Just perfect .

[@blancaportillo4078]

Hi John, I guess I'll be late trying one of those peaches. You were eating the fruit with so much pleasure that I had to go buy peaches here in Orlando, Florida. Never as tasty as yours. We arrive in Tokyo on 9/20, by then, I am sure there will be no more peaches. 😢 Anyway, thanks for the information. It is interesting to know how carefully and delicately they take care of their fruits and pack them. No wonder they are so expensive! You also make me laugh because you are like the Hispanics when it comes to saying goodbye 👋 you never want to end😅 We are the same way! When visitors come to our house to visit, at the time of leaving, we begin to say goodbye from the front door, to the garage and then we stand in front of the car, and once they get into the car; we are still talking. It takes forever 😅😅 thanks John I love watching your videos

[@ellegarden7986]

Momo 🍑 Be fun to hear/see more about the rich folklore of Japan & the peach. Are there stories for children as young as your little boy? Have seen some lovely illustrations.

[@dshock2903]

I just love the way they are packed.

[@johnlopez9626]

I enjoyed seeing the peaches the golden ones look very special and expensive it’s cool to see it inside hope you enjoy eating the peaches

[@carolineindacityphx]

Best intermission EVER!!! 🚤 Those peaches look amazing!!! 😋As usual, now I have to go and get some!

[@klm4135]

John I am so thrilled for you showing this episode on Japanese peaches! My mother is originally from Tokyo and married an American when she was 17 and came to the U.S. back in 1953....she is always raving about Japanese peaches and that none here in the U.S. can compare to those in Japan...do you know if there's any way that one can purchases these peaches to be shipped to the U.S.??

[@jarihult]

I haven't eaten peaches for ages but it was still nice to see those peaches what you were eaten 🙂Thank you for sharing 🙂👍!!!

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Me neither, first one this season! And it’s almost done. Had to be done.

[@rosew1]

love space boat!

All the best to Naoya “The Monster” Inoue on his Sept 3, title defense.

[@markshen3280]

Oh, by the way, Japanese 🇯🇵 Strawberries 🍓 are also very expensive 💸💸💸💸💸but all these Japanese 🇯🇵 grown fruits are REALLY juicy and sweet 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Carol61347]

Thanks

[@user-yi2gp8wr2s]

Thank you very much for your posting☺ I'm glad that you have enjoyed Japanese peach🍑 If you have opportunity, Please try to eat Japanese grape🍇

[@dshock2903]

Take care John, stay safe.

[@dwalker6868]

Thank you for sharing your video

[@yukiagu]

Sakuraco is a monthly subscription box sent directly from Japan to the world and I've had a box every month delivered to me (USA, TX) from them! They consist of Japanese snacks with different items every month from all prefecture of Japan! ❤ I always get so excited when I receive my monthly box 📦 🙌 By the way, thank you for sharing that Hi Chew! Is it a limited time item? And those peaches 🍑 😍 I'd give anything to eat one right now! 😊

[@onlyinjapanGO]

I have my own Daimyo tier boxes on my Patreon so can’t recommend my competitor 😂 haha - my Daimyo got that last month. It’s actually really good, not overly sweet, tastes really like a chewy peach 🍑

[@kochichris]

Okayama kyoho grapes🍇like gifu. Also greet yuzu, lemon citrus🍋🍊and mikan like ehime and himeji find😊❤

[@jazi-san4563]

Love peacheshowie.

[@BigMachigai]

YAAA JOHN 😊. In a world where everybody is always hating on everything, it's nice to see some of your recent lives appreciating the little things and taking a step back to research what's really going on and give us some info. You always have my support 🫡 🎉

[@markshen3280]

Hi, John. Japanese 🇯🇵 large peaches 🍑, Japanese 🇯🇵 Fuji Apples, and Japanese 🇯🇵 Cantaloupes 🍈 are extremely expensive 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸

[@Hank5387]

Thanks for demoing how to cut a peach. My neighbor gave me some peaches a few days ago. I've been following the path of Typhoon #10 for the past few days. It's moving too slow. I arrive at Haneda on September 4th in the afternoon. Fingers crossed.

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Oooh, that’s a tough day but I’ve got my fingers crossed for you this thing weakens and it’s just rain. It’s moving so slow … that concerns me.

[@ClefairyFairySnowflake]

Take care with that typhoon approaching. Be careful out there! 🙏😔

[@heatherfling7820]

I never seen that kind of peach before.

[@guitarsolos89]

My prayers to Japan that the storm won't destroy anything in its path and the rain levels will be low 🙏

[@arceus54321]

enjoyed this video john. im happy with my 80yen peaches i buy from shin-okubo though haha.

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Nothing wrong with those at all! They’re more tart, and def cheaper!

[@kochichris]

Here in the netherlands is peach season too🍑more orange red a bit yellow skin, inside dark yellow...2 types wild flat ones and middle round...your peaches bleeding red inside😅😊theres a white and light pink without red more white and light yellow inside😊

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Peach season is the best!

[@kochichris]

@@onlyinjapanGO shugoi des~ne☆

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Cool!✌️

[@redwolfjoy]

Awesome! I get to try Japanese peaches in 8 days!

[@MaShcode]

They must busy picking peaches before the typhoon hits

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Probably, I hope they finish. Grapes 🍇 will definitely not fare well 😢

[@MaShcode]

Grapes are expendable and convert readily to raisins.

[@markshen3280]

John, you might know that if / when a Super Typhoon 🌀 is slowly approaching Japan 🇯🇵, Hong Kong 🇭🇰, or even Taiwan 🇹🇼, that means BIG TROUBLE as it gains momentum and bigger intensity 🌊🌊🌊🌬️🌬️🌬️💨💨🌪️🌪️🌪️☔️☔️☔️

[@creativecooktravely886]

I thorought it was a pear😂

[@importadosbuongiornobogota6578]

Talking about peaches in the middle of Typhoon... you care a lot for us ♥♥♥

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Typhoon 🌀 is a thousand km south west of Tokyo moving at the speed of a bicycle 🚴 literally. I don’t get the point. Should I wait a week until they’re spoiled? Is it a dig at me or a compliment 😂 I like how it could go either way though ❤️

[@importadosbuongiornobogota6578]

@@onlyinjapanGO It's a compliment. I enjoy the versatility with which you talk about peaches while also telling us about the typhoon. It was never my intention to be annoying. Sumimasen 🙇‍♀

[@jazi-san4563]

Nice hair cut doo.

[@onlyinjapanGO]

¥1100 cut done in 13 minutes :) my barber is a wizard 🧙‍♀️ 85% of the time he gets it right every time!

[@oscodains]

Im here for the space boat, not the taste test.

[@jamesrios9457]

Went peach picking in Yamanashi this past June. Delicious, hints of apple and honey

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Good description, a touch of honey, YES!

[@heatherfling7820]

Hello John, I got a question. Is there a way I could order those peaches? I would love to try them but, I am from Colorado USA. 🇺🇸 wishing there’s a way to send those safety to the US. Would you know is there a way to order them?

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Sometimes places like Mitsuwa or Japanese / Korean supermarkets carry them. I’m not sure how they’re sold abroad. I’m sure it’s not cheap.

[@rjf7023]

i love japan but theres more opportunity in the west. It's less ridged and if you couple hard work and a good idea, you can make it. fame or fortune really is attainable. Not as true in Japan, its clean safe, comfortable but conformity is required. example: Take an average student, who goes to a below-avg university, and comes from a middle class family, the same student in the west relative to japan is more likely to really make it...all while embracing the things that make him different

[@Rob1964b]

Packaging is way over the top. I see those lattice things washed up on beaches all over the world. Needs a bio degradable method to pack a peach.

[@onlyinjapanGO]

They weren’t from me on those beaches. Were they from Japan? Supermarkets in this country have receptacles to recycle nearly EVERYTHING, locals use it regularly with packaging - and consumers will not buy damaged peaches 🍑 such packaging is fine as consumers here are much more responsible, just look at the city streets. I think any major US city is 10x worse than Tokyo. It’s just Japanese vs western values. Again, the packaging is recycled ♻️ I think it’s an over reaction.

[@BigMachigai]

I disagree, I think the effort they put into their packaging makes people want to take better care. ♻️ Honestly, I'm from NYC so I laugh out loud at accusing the Japanese of making waste. 😂😂

[@oscodains]

I thought they were paper. Ridiculous they are plastic.

[@IsabellePodrasky]

@@onlyinjapanGOOk. I have to step in here. We, in the USA, really don’t use that type of packaging for our fruits and vegetables. We rarely use them (if even at all.) The packaging must have come from another country, or irresponsible people. When it comes to fruits, we stack them on top of one another in the supermarket. We usually don’t use the excessive packaging for fruits and vegetables.

[@hannesRSA]

I wouldn't say Western, since the worst offenders are in SE Asia and China.

[@jazi-san4563]

Good for business.

[@dug3569]

I usually don’t peel the peach😛

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Me neither but I didn’t wash it so … my wife said “it’s bitter” but I said it’s got all the vitamins! The east vs west fruit debate rages on!

[@gt46c]

I hope everyone is safe during No10. This is the first time I see peeled peaches 😂.why didn't you just eat it like you would an apple 😅?

[@onlyinjapanGO]

They spray it or there’s chemicals. Japanese almost never eat the skin. This goes for grapes too. Apples. It seems odd but maybe the westerners are rhetorical odd ones?!

[@calmgood-hh9zp]

i haven't eat peach in my life (i am 23 and l half right now)

[@jazi-san4563]

Cuz your cute just it eat

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Just eat it, eat it 🎶 weird Al 🎸

[@TanT77]

Hey, I am from USA visiting Japan right now am staying in Shibuya. Would be great if we can meet up and go to the famous peach farm. Hopefully you see this message if you do please respond. I will pay you for you to take me on a personal tour to this peach farm. I am a fruit lover so would be great if you can.

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Kind offer! I’m not a good tour guide. It would take a kings ransom to make me do it 😂 maybe one day. I go home and edit, writing up a script for the next episode. Right now, Yamanashi grape tours are going on, it’s really nice - after the typhoon.

[@hogginger2982]

I bought some Japanese peaches the other day. Way overpriced, looked nice, tasted like garbage. So much better in Greece for a better price.

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Where’d you buy it? Seems like a tourist trap. I ate 54 peaches in 2004, a personal record. Zero tasted bad. Saying it tasted like garbage is really low class. Love Greece and Greek food - I’d never say something so vile as that even though I’ve had many questionable experiences there. I also ate the peaches, not nearly as sweet nor as big. Sometimes you have to wait until they ripen esp is you don’t pay much for it.

[@ericifune5543]

He's a troll. Just ignore him. Any response is what gets a rise from him.

[@hannesRSA]

My comment got censored simply because I indicated which non-western countries pollute heavily. dystopian

[@CaptainCommandoNZ]

Japan, the only country in the world to have that much wasteful packaging for one fruit

[@onlyinjapanGO]

If it’s not packages right and is bruised, it gets wasted. The plastic and the styrofoam is recycled at the supermarket, not “wasted”. Japanese consumers are the pickiest which is why the food is also so good! Keep that in mind.

[@CaptainCommandoNZ]

@onlyinjapanGO it's a different mindset, picking up fruit without any kind of packaging has to be better. I get the bruised reason. I live in New Zealand, we are trying to do less packaging full stop. It reminded me of special Japanese biscuits that are individually wrapped in plastic. I hope it's all recycled. A lot of the time, packaging is aimed more at marketing than practicality.
