FUKUSHIMA -- The hard work of the Fukushima prefectural government over the past three years finally bore fruit with Anpogaki dried persimmons that were set to be exported to Dubai for the first time. The fruit is a specialty of northern Fukushima Prefecture.

Those involved in the project hope the dried persimmons will be well received in Dubai, a crossroad for travel to Europe and elsewhere. They also hope people around the world will be made more aware that food products from the prefecture are delicious and safe.
