Not bad!<br /><br />I have to say it did not strike me as very like the Fujis I have had here. Not nearly as light, and with much richer flavors.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-80800762483810417282017-05-19T15:23:50.037-04:002017-05-19T15:23:50.037-04:00It's the middle of May and I'm eating an O...It's the middle of May and I'm eating an Opal that I picked up at the local Trader Joe's for 99 cents. I really liked the Opal when I first tried it in January, but it's still pretty good now, probably because of the climate controlled storage. The Opals I've eaten recently reminds me of the Fujis I ate as a child in Asia. <br /><br />Somehow the American-grown Fujis I've had in recent years just don't taste as crisp or flavorful as the Japanese-grown Fujis from my childhood, probably because of geology and microclimates.s. chouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851494243719069436noreply@blogger.com
