Japanese traditional persimmon dishes in fall. Persimmon is Japanese popular fruit.

[@Max-dm8ee]

Amazing as always, Ryusei-San! I have never heard of Persimmon before but it looks very tasty!

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

Yes, Persimmon is so tasty. It's one of the popular autumn fruits in Japan!!

[@winnyliew1359]

These are new dishes to me. Thanks.

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

You’re welcome! I’m happy my dishes are new for you. Thank you for watching and your comment:)

I absolutely LOVE persimmon, but I've never seen it used in a savory side dish like this. The dishes are so beautiful and I'm grateful you taught us how to say and write "kaki" so I can look for it when I'm in Japan 😁 Thank you, Ryusei-san! This was a great video 😄

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

In Japan, we add persimmon to the salad too! Yes, please look for "kaki"柿. And I have to say one thing, in japanese oyster is also called "kaki"牡蠣. 　You're welcome! Thank you for watching and your comment😊

[@AiraXue]

@@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine That would be so tasty in a salad! What a fun idea 😁 Haha Oh that's good to know! Are they pronounced exactly the same? Or is there a pitch difference or one vowel is longer for one? I do plan to try oysters as well so I suppose "kaki" is a useful word to know for two dishes 😂

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

No, they are pronounced the same. But, these pronounces are different from regions😂. But, Japanese people probably misunderstand them. And almost japanese kwon the English name of oyster. I hope you'll enjoy "kaki"! And I have one question, do you or your husband like japanese sake which is made from the rice?

[@AiraXue]

@@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine Oh that's amazing that Japanese people know the English word for oyster. I feel like a lot of Japanese people have the talent to learn many languages! Ah, my husband and I don't drink alcohol so we haven't tried sake 😅 Do you enjoy sake?

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

Yes, oyster is so loved in Japan. Of course, I like it too. I hope so, but now in Japan, if we make a little bit mistake for example grammar or pronounce, a lot of people say he/ she mistakes. So, many people don't speak English or other languages. I'd like to change this negative situation! Oh, thank you for teaching me! Yes, I like and I'm proud of our country's sake. But, you have other chances of non alcohol drink too. And there are lots of cafe!! Next video, I'll introduce about japanese tea a bit.

[@thegirlwhoeats8863]

I will try out the recipe - they look amazingly jummy. And can we also talk about the dishes? The overall astetic of the video is so visually pleasing 😳

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

Thank you very much and of course! I'm very glad about your comment:) Thank you. Have a nice weekend😊

Ohhh! Persimmons! Theyre my fave childhood treat. I remember my first taste...I was hooked immediately! ゼリーのように柔らかくて美味しい！

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

That's nice! Persimmon is popular in your country too! 柔らかい食感美味しいですね😋

[@phoenawang3023]

I’m a huge fan of persimmons! I’m going back to my hometown soon to enjoy fresh and dried persimmons. Going to try out the recipes. 👍🏻

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

Hello. In Brazil, we have Kaki, called caqui (same sound) but ususally we ate it just as a fruit or in sweet recipes. Very nice recipes, thank you for sharing!

I love the simplicity and beauty of your recipes. Basic but essential techniques like soaking in salt water, reducing the alcohol content are such crucial steps! Thank you!

Thank you so much. I’m very glad about your compliment. Yes, they are essential steps. You’re welcome. Thank you for watching and your comment!

I love persimmons, and ate so many of them while growing up.

[@starry7544]

I'm glad to see that your channel has been growing so much, Ryusei-san!

柿食べることありません。。。オーストラリアで柿あまりないけど探して頑張る💪食べてみる! 美味しそう😋

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

柿なかなかオーストラリアになさそうですね😅　僕も昔シドニーに少し住んでいました！ 柿見つかると嬉しいです😊

[@MrLemonT10]

Amazing video ! Persimmon is also called kaki in French 😊 I really love it but I have never made a recipe with it, I always eat it plain! I can't find bitter melon, what do you think I could replace it with to make the recipe ?

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

Thank you! The French name is same in Japan!! Yes, I usually eat it plain as well. We can make it just skip the bitter melon, but if you add something, I recommend cucumber or spinach(boiled and remove the water)😉. I hope you'll enjoy it. Have a nice week end!!

Konnichiwa Ryusei! :) Persimmon is another favorite for my girlfriend and me. We have two small persimmon trees (variety is Nakita's Gift). They are very soft when ripe. We've never tried eating any when they're under ripe, but next year I will try slicing one to see how it tastes. These are wonderful recipes and look very delicious! Arigato! :D

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

Konnichiwa! That's nice! Yes, I remember you taught me you like permission. Thank you! I hope you'll enjoy my recipes. Have a nice weekend:)

[@tktyga77]

Ryusei-san, have you ever fermented or pickled stuff with persimmons? I saw a video of Maangchi doing so & wondered if you ever come across such a way

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

I've never tried, but it looks delicious! I'll try to ferment the persimmons:) Thank you!

[@luvluvtimtam]

In my language, it's called "pisang kaki". For the longest time, I thought it meant "banana leg" (literal translation) but it turns out the "kaki" is Japanese!

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

That's interesting! I just translated it, "poising" means leg. Yes, persimmon means "Kaki". Thank you for watching and your comment:)

[@thegirlwhoeats8863]

If I can not get daikon where I live, what could I use instead?

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

I recommend to use turnip instead of daikon. Or I guess a celery may be a good substitute. I hope you'll enjoy it:)

[@Ieatlikeabird-mh7tz]

I have seen persimmon but dared not try them,do they taste like mangoes? I am going to try eating them ,how do you know that they are ripe,ready to eat?

[@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine]

The taste is depending on ripeness, if it's ripe, the texture is similar to mangoes. Probably, persimmon becomes orange. We can eat it. If it's too soft, it's too ripe. I hope you'll enjoy it:)

[@Ieatlikeabird-mh7tz]

@@kyodokan.japanese.cuisine oh,thank you,I am going to buy just one to try.😁
