Toukurou ginnan(ginkgo nut)

This ginkgo nut variety came from a natural ginkgo tree of about 300 years of age which was planted in the home of Toukurou Inoue, a resident of Mizuho City. The tree, however, fell down and withered due to a typhoon in 1914. This type is characterized by and highly evaluated for its relatively large size, thin shell with smooth and glossy surface, high uniformity in size and shape, good taste, and favorable storability in comparison with other varieties.
