π Kyoho
A large dark table grape bred in Japan and popular in East Asia.
Kyoho is a large dark table grape bred in Japan. Table grape means the berries are mainly eaten fresh rather than pressed for wine. The grape is popular in East Asia, especially in Japan, China and Korea.
Kyoho berries are very large, dark purple, with thick skin. The flesh is juicy and sweet, with a muscat shade in the aroma. The skin is often not eaten, and the flesh is squeezed out. The grape is often given as a gift and sold as an expensive treat.
Kyoho is important for breeding. It is used as a parent for new varieties, and pedigrees linked to it mention Pione, Takao, Kurosio and Nagano Purple.
Kyoho shows that grapes are not only for wine. The berries are eaten, made into juice, and sometimes wine, but the main purpose of the variety is fresh fruit on the table.
