It is now a Hanami season in Japan (during March and April) and for many Japanese, this is the best time of year. The cherry blossom (sakura) trees all over Japan come in to bloom for about seven to ten days. This is also a great time for people to hold outdoor parties to view the sakura. The name “Hanami” says it all, hana means “flower” and mi is “to look”.

RainbowKiwi_2Talk about kiwi fruits, the country of origin is China and later on the seeds were brought into New Zealand. In New Zealand, the kiwi fruits were broadly planted and from there they are exported to other countries around the world. Hence New Zealand's kiwi fruits became popular. Recently, a new kind of kiwi fruit is found in Japan.

 

 

It is popular and special as the quantity of this new kiwi is little and hence caused it valuables. The price for this new kind kiwi is more expensive compare to normal green or yellow kiwi. What is the speciality of this new kind kiwi? Well, I think it is due to the colour of the kiwi, it has mixture of red and green/yellow in colour, and this is where the name came from --> RAINBOW KIWI. The center of the rainbow kiwi is RED and surrounded by either green or yellow.

Other than the colour, the size of rainbow kiwi is smaller compare to normal kiwi. It is sweet and not sour. The surface of the kiwi does not have hair.

Last two days, we bought a pack of rainbow kiwi, total 6 of them. It costs 398yen, which is equivalent to RM14. A piece of rainbow kiwi cost about RM2.40, this price is also equivalent to a bowl of asam laksa, hehe...

Talking about buying process, at the time we reached the shop, we saw the last pack of rainbow kiwi, immediately we bought it. Before that, we went to few other shops and non of them selling this kind of fruit.

After dinner, we ate the RAINBOW kiwi, with excited and joyful heart. When we cut into half, I feel cheated by the shop owner, the kiwi was rotten!!! Out of 6, one was rotten, one bowl of asam laksa gone! The other 5 were just fine, taste not sour but not really special. To me, I still prefer yellow kiwi, because it is sweet.

It might due to the rainbow kiwi is not very fresh and hence caused the taste weird or in fact the taste is just normal. Well, I believe this is the first and also last time for me to buy. Also, the red colour in middle is not as beautiful as the advertisement picture. Kind of dissapointed. Anyway, I feel happy as I have the chance to try new kind of kiwi fruit in Japan, the RAINBOW KIWI.
