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.
