Hoshigaki

Kaki slowly dried on a rack into preserved fruit that is more filling than the fresh fruit.

Obtaining

Usage

A fruit, dried

Eat it as it is, or cut it up for a dressed dish. It is the form that carries kaki past the season it was picked in.

Advancements

In the real world

Hoshigaki is traditionally made by peeling astringent persimmons, hanging them, and drying them until sweet.

Differences in game

The game does not distinguish sweet and astringent persimmons; peeling, tying, massaging, and days of drying become one rack operation.
