The hard part with Japanese peaches was never sweetness. It is getting every single one in the box to the same standard. Two or three that fall short and the whole box is remembered differently.
These come from JA Nakano in Nagano, sold under the Tsuki no Usagi (moon rabbit) label. The SUPER grade is their Hidamari selection: graded first by hand and eye for colour and shape, then by sensor for sugar and eating quality. Only fruit that clears both is allowed the Hidamari grade, which requires a Brix of 13 or above.
The texture is dense and full of juice, the flesh pale cream, the aroma delicate rather than heavy. Chill and eat whole for the most direct version. If you want to make more of it, serve with burrata and a thread of olive oil as a starter, or slice over a soufflé.
Each peach is cradled in its own net inside the carton, so it presents well as a gift straight out of the box.

日本水蜜桃最難嘅，從來唔係甜，係要每一個都甜。同一箱入面有兩三個唔夠水準，成箱嘅印象就散晒。
呢款嚟自長野縣中野市 JA，用「月之兔」名義出品。SUPER 等級即係佢哋嘅「陽だまり」揀選：先由人手同肉眼揀色澤同外形，再過感應器測糖度同食味，兩關都過到先夠資格入呢個等級，糖度要 13 度以上。
咬落綿密多汁，果肉偏白，香氣清雅唔搶。凍好之後原個食最直接；想講究啲，可以配少少 burrata 同橄欖油做前菜，或者切片伴梳乎厘。
原箱每個桃都有粉紅網套逐個包好，開箱已經企理，送禮唔使再包裝。
