Cultivar: Kirari 31

Kirari 31 is derived from a 1994 cross of Sakimidori and Saemidori and is an early-budding cultivar with high frost resistance. Compared to Yabukita, it has higher levels of amino acids and lower levels of catechins, meaning it is more umami and less bitter. Well-balanced and easy to grow, Kirari 31 has recently received a lot of attention as a potential successor to Yabukita.
