Walking into the nearby green grocer this afternoon, I spotted a very large western-style (European/North American) pear. It is grown in Yamagata Prefecture (山形県) and the variety is named Le Francais (ラ フランス). The price was 150 yen. As is the case with many large fruit here, it was individually placed in a protective wrap. I measured it and it was about 9.5 cm tall and 8.5 cm in diameter. I won’t know if it is good or not until we slice into it.
