Has anyone heard of “Nikkori” pear or have eaten it? Each pear is said to cost $10, as it sells for $10/kg and the fruit on average weighs 1kg (per #1 youtube video below). Seems to be a big moneymaker for the local region where it’s grown since they can’t grow enough of it to meet export demand.
“Nikkori is a new late maturing, russet-skin type cultivar of Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai var. culta Nakai), released by Tochigi Agricultural Experiment Station. Nikkori, formerly named “2-11”, was developed from cross seedlings between Niitaka and Hosui, crossed in 1984.

Fruit of Nikkori is round, soft, crisp, very juicy and weighs 800g on the average. The skin color is reddish brown and the flesh is white. The juice is sweet and less acidic, Brix and pH of it are 12.1% and 5.08, respectively.”-New Japanese pear [Pyrus pyrifolia] cultivar “Nikkori” [Japan] [1997], Bulletin of the Tochigi Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station (Japan)
