September Parfait Announcement: Have You Heard of the Sweet “Nagano Purple” Grapes?
Indulge in Seasonal Delights: September’s Parfait Featuring Nagano Purple and Shine Muscat Grapes
The grapes used are Nagano Purple and Shine Muscat. Nagano Purple is a sweet grape developed in Nagano Prefecture by crossing “Kyoho” and “Rizamat” varieties. It is seedless and can be eaten with the skin. It is rich in polyphenols, glucose, fructose, and minerals. Development began in 1992, and the variety was registered in 2004. The “Rizamat” variety originates from Uzbekistan and is considered one of the most luxurious and rarest grape varieties in Japan, with very limited production.
On the other hand, Shine Muscat is a popular grape variety registered in 2006. It has an appealing appearance and exudes a sense of luxury.
“Couches de bonheur” sources its fruits from “Yasai no Kanematsu,” a long-established greengrocer founded in 1917. They handle vegetables and fruits grown without any chemical fertilizers or pesticides, primarily sourced from Nagano City.
