🛍 Product Information：
Name is a blend of Jonathan + Golden Delicious. Cross made in 1943 at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station (Geneva); released 1968. Japan imported it in 1970 (Akita fruit station). It is a triploid variety: large fruit, sterile pollen, needs a polliniser, cannot pollinate others.
日本產地 Japan production
2023 harvest about 37,000 t (~6% of Japan’s apples).
- Aomori ~31,300 t（約 85%）— Hirosaki / Tsugaru is the core
- Iwate ~4,440 t
- Fukushima, Hokkaido in small volumes
外觀 Appearance
- Weight typically 300–400 g (bigger than Fuji on average)
- Round to slightly oval
- Yellow-green ground colour with orange-red / pink-red blush and stripes
- Ripe fruit may feel slightly tacky — 油上がり (abura-agari) wax bloom; a ripeness sign, not spoilage
- Bagged fruit: more even colour; unbagged (sun) fruit: stronger flavour, more russet/stripe
風味 Flavor
- Flesh cream-white, dense, crisp / シャキッ
- High juice
- Sugar 14–15%; malic acid ~0.5%
- First bite: Jonathan-style tang; then Golden Delicious sweetness and aroma
- Less sour than Jonathan / 紅玉; more acid and “apple character” than Fuji
- Early-picked lots taste sharper; well-ripened fruit is rounder and more fragrant
- Not a typical “honey-core / 蜜入り” variety like Sun Fuji
產季 Season (HK / JP)
- Harvest in Japan: early October to early November (mid-season)
- Best eating: late October–December
- Cold store / CA: sold into the following spring–summer; texture slowly softens
挑選 How to choose
- Firm, heavy for size
- Even blush; stem cavity not collapsed
- Slight surface tack is OK if fruit is fragrant and firm
- Avoid dull, lightweight, or mealy fruit (long-stored)
儲存 Storage
Room temp ~1–2 weeks. Fridge crisper 2–3 months. Keep dry, don’t wash until eating. Cut flesh browns slower than some cooking apples.
料理 Culinary uses
Excellent raw and cooked (Jonathan parentage holds shape).
- Fresh, salad, juice, smoothie
- Bake, pie, tarte tatin, compote, jam
- Light simmer for 糖煮蘋果 / baked apple
Hong Kong table: eat chilled; pair with cheese, yogurt, or a pinch of salt; juice with celery or carrot.
營養 Nutrition (typical apple)
Low fat, source of fibre, vitamin C and polyphenols (higher in skin — wash well and eat with peel if preferred). No unique “superfood” claim beyond a well-balanced dessert apple.
