Tasting a Persimmon

Our friends in Japan did not vote for persimmon as their favorite fruit in school lunches. Their teacher, Mr. Isamu Shimazaki, wonders why this is so. We do, too. We had never eaten a persimmon so our teacher brought a persimmon to school for us to taste but only if we wanted to taste a little piece. All of the students were willing to try a little taste. Most of the students in our classes like the taste of persimmon. It was very soft and was not bitter at all!

Dear friends in Japan,

I tasted a persimmon today. It looked like a tangerine. It smelled like sugar. It tasted like sweet and salty.

Your friend,
