With the waters flowing through our pristine Namgang River, sheltered by the protective mountains, and caressed by the salty sea breeze from the coast, Jinju City produces some of the best strawberries, persimmons and fruits in the regions,” Mr Lee Chang-Hee the Mayor of Jinju City had said at the launch recently.

To illustrate his point, freshly cut fruits were distributed to the members of the media and as we tasted the fruits, Mr David Tay from TCK Sdn Bhd, a fresh produce importer based in Malaysia explained further about the Korean fruits.

Maeyang strawberries are winter strawberries (and thus in season) and are fast becoming the berries of choice as they have the best flavour, taste and aroma, besides being consistently sweet.
Shingo pears grown in Korea have a unique flavour and aroma that is not attained when grown elsewhere.
Fuyu persimmons, although originally from Japan, was popularised and made affordable by the Koreans.

Korean muskmelons are oval shaped and prized for its appearance, sweet yellow flesh that is clean tasting with light aroma.
