About the Fruit: Japanese Pear
The Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) has long been a favorite fruit in Japan. Unlike the bulbous “western pear” which is usually eaten after turning soft, the Japanese pear is round and more like an apple best enjoyed while it is still firm. A native of Japan, the Japanese pear is known for its refreshing, almost thirst-quenching properties.
