Freshly picked sweet Higashiura grapes
Higashiura's Morioka area of the Chita Peninsula is home to an astounding 24 vineyards providing an abundant produce of 20 varieties. From the beginning of August to mid-September, they open their gates to who wants to come and enjoy the sweet flavors of freshly picked Higashiura grapes!
How to find the most delicious grapes
1. Search for mature grapes on healthy vines with dark blooms on their surface.
2. Grapes whose area near the stem have color are packed with sweetness.
3. If the stem is green and has recently been cut, it is fresh with plenty of juice.
4. When the fruit itself matures, so does the seed. If the seed is brown, it's a good indicator that the fruit is sweet.
How to store your grapes
1. Store grapes in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator if it has one. If you put the grapes into a paper bag and in turn a sealed Ziplock bag, they will keep for about 10 days.
2. Separate stems while still leaving the grapes on, put them into a tupperware or similar container, and store them in the semi-frosting drawer in your refrigerator for sherbet-consistency grapes. (If you pull the grapes from the stems, their juices escape, resulting in less sweetness.
