Hosui is probably the strongest choice in this group when eating quality matters more than storage. Its russeted fruit is exceptionally juicy, high in sugar and more aromatic than many Asian pears. The flesh remains crisp while feeling generous and refreshing. The crop should be enjoyed fairly promptly, as Hosui stores for a much shorter period than Nijiseiki or Tsu Li.

Hosui is an early-season Asian or Nashi pear, sometimes considered to have the best flavour of any Asian pear variety.
The flesh is very juicy, crisp, and very sweet.
Hosui will not store as well as other Asian pear varieties, perhaps 1-2 months in the fridge – but this is a small price to pay for such excellent flavour.
