The Wakayama Prefectural Government promoted persimmons grown in Wakayama, Japan, from 22 to 23 November in Sydney. Wakayama is located to the south of Osaka, in the Kansai region. Persimmons are one of Wakayama’s specialties and the prefecture is the top producer of persimmons in Japan. This is the second time that Japanese persimmons have been imported to Australia. Representatives from Wakayama promoted Wakayama persimmons through tastings at a fruit and vegetable market, and were pleased to see how many customers love the taste of Wakayama persimmons and purchased this sweet, nutritious fruit!
Apart from in-store promotions, CLAIR Sydney assisted with a quality inspection after customs clearance. We will continue to assist with Wakayama prefecture’s future promotions of persimmons.
