Yes. A little bit bland than a True Fuyu. The major advantage of M. Wase is that it is a month earlier than the regular Fuyu. It is completely seedless even if it is surrounded by many male persimmon flowers from other cultivars.
I have harvested mine starting second week of August for the past three years. Fruits get better and darker orange if left longer on the tree. The birds and roof rats love persimmons more than other fruits, so I harvest them as soon as they're ready.
I have more than 60 different kinds of persimmons. I've tasted about 30 kinds of persimmon fruits. But will have to do formal tasting one of these days. One persimmon tree has now 50 cultivars on it.
