I haven't had any good dried persimmons in a long time. I saw someone sharing this brand on Weee . This box has eleven persimmons. The size doesn't matter. They have a high-quality white frost, are soft, sticky, fragrant, and just the right amount of sweetness. I ate two in one go, which was very satisfying!
