Japanese Food Tips

The Shine Muscat was created in Hiroshima, Japan in 1988 and registered as a variety in 2006. The history of the grape is short, but it is now the most cultivated grape variety in Japan. That's how high the demand for the Shine Muscat is, and it is very popular. Shine Muscat is a seedless grape with large, oval-shaped berries. The rind is yellow-green in color and thin, and the whole skin can be eaten with the flesh. The Shine Muscat is known for its high sugar content among grape varieties. The sugar content of the Shine Muscat ranges from 16 to 20 degrees. Depending on the cultivation method, it can reach 20 degrees or more. Hence, the Shine Muscat is quite sweet and tasty. If you are in Japan, you can buy it at fruit specialty stores, supermarkets and department stores.
