Fresh pears, apples and persimmons from the "Fruit Kingdom" are available at Yamagata Plaza Yutorito.
Yamagata Prefecture produces virtually every fruit, except citrus varieties, that can grow in Japan. Its climate, with wide temperature differences between day and night, creates perfect conditions for sweet fruit.
Cherries, peaches, melons and watermelons are grown in summer. In the fall, La France pears, apples and persimmons are at their best and occasionally appear at the shop in the Kasumigaseki district in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward.
