What do Japanese Peaches taste like?
Japanese peaches, or “Momo,”(桃） are celebrated for their exceptional sweetness and juiciness.
They have a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture, almost like biting into a soft, ripe mango.
The flavor is subtly floral with a perfect balance of sweetness and a hint of tartness, making them incredibly refreshing.
Japanese peaches are often described as having a more intense aroma and flavor compared to other varieties, with a smooth, velvety skin that is easy to peel.
They are a true summertime delicacy in Japan, often enjoyed fresh, but also used in desserts and sweets.
How to Peel Japanese Peach
Step 1: Preparing the Peaches
First things first—give your peaches a good wash and pat them dry. It’s important to start with clean peaches to ensure the best results.
Step 2: Cutting the Peaches
Next, take your knife and gently place it into the natural line that runs down the peach. Just like cutting an avocado, slice until you hit the seed, then cut all the way around. After that, rotate the peach 90 degrees and make another cut, repeating the process two more times until you’ve divided the peach into 8 equal sections.
Step 3: Separating the Flesh from the Seed
Here’s where the magic happens! Hold the peach in your hand and gently twist it.
This will help separate the flesh from the seed without much effort. Be careful not to squeeze too hard—you want to keep the flesh intact. This gentle twist also makes the skin much easier to peel off.
Step 4: Peeling the Peach
Now, simply peel off the skin. If your peach is perfectly ripe, the skin should come off with ease. And there you have it—your peach is perfectly peeled!
Tips:
One important tip: make sure your peaches are just ripe enough. If they’re too ripe, they might get a bit squishy, so this method works best with peaches that are not too soft, not too firm, but wonderfully fragrant.
Enjoy your peach all summer long!
And there you have it!
No need to mess around with hot water or ice baths—just a knife and a little twist, and you’re good to go. When peaches are in season and their aroma is simply irresistible, you’ll want to enjoy them at their best. Now, you can! Try this method out, and impress your friends with your newfound peach-peeling skills inspired by the Japanese way!
