Kofu, located in Yamanashi Prefecture, has long been the heart of Japanese goldsmith and jewelry production, largely due to its rich quartz mines.
However, Kofu is not only known for its craftsmanship in jewelry. It is also famous for its high-quality fruit production, with peaches, grapes, apples, and pears that are prized for both their taste and appearance. The secret to this excellence is patience: local farmers carefully cover each fruit individually to protect it from insects and bad weather, preserving not only their flavor but also their perfect appearance.
