Tiny, magical grapes

grapes

We were a little disappointed when there were no more yellow watermelons at the grocery store last night, but bought some odd looking little grapes instead.They are very small so I expected them to be sour, but I just remembered they were in the fridge and tried one, and they are the Best. Grapes. Ever.

They taste just like the gummy grape flavoured lollies, but without the sick feeling that comes from eating too many.

Perfect!

My dodgy Japanese reading skills tell me they are Delaware grapes, from Osaka.

Only 398yen. It’s our lucky day.

    I think I’ve tasted these tiny grapes before. They’re seedless aren’t they? Very sweet and it has that crunch when you bite it… yummy! Feel like getting some for my snack:)

    Hi curryegg. I would have a lot more fruit to post about if I were rich! Fruit is sooooo expensive here.
    They have lots of beautiful fruit packaged as gifts for hundreds of dollars per small box. Amazing!
