Fuyu persimmons are a lot milder in taste than the Hachiya variety. Hachiya persimmons aren't fit to be eaten until very ripe, due to the high tannin content. By the time they're ripe, the flavor is quite intense! Fuyu persimmons, in comparison, can be eaten when they're still firm, but have a milder taste. If you let them continue to ripen, they will have a softer consistency and a more intense flavor.
