At 16:00 on 8th October, Yoshikazu Okada, head of the direct sales division at JA Kino-sato in Kinokawa City, Wakayama Prefecture, and Takashi Asano, president of Agri Souken — a specialist in brand strategy and business model development in the agricultural sector — gave a live sales demonstration of the legendary "Kuroama" persimmon on the Ginza Glass View Stage.
The "Kuroama" is an astringent persimmon that, through a special process, achieves an exceptionally high sugar content. They spoke with great enthusiasm about the appeal of this legendary variety, which accounts for a mere 0.1% of Japan's total persimmon production.
Spot sales were also held at the venue, drawing a large crowd that stopped to watch — including tourists from overseas.
