Shimizu White Peach Sweets

Okayama is such a prolific peach-growing region that it is called the Kingdom of White Peaches. Among them, the Shimizu white peach is a premium variety known for its smooth, milky white flesh and melting sweetness. Sweets such as parfaits, jellies, and tarts made with these fine white peaches color Okayama in summer.

Highlights

Each peach is carefully grown wrapped in an individual bag, giving it an elegant, clean sweetness and juiciness. In a cafe parfait, layers of fresh flesh, sauce, and ice cream let you savor the full charm of the peach. The short season makes it feel all the more special.

Enjoying the Seasons

The Shimizu white peach is mainly in season from mid-July to early August. Only during this brief period do white peach sweets appear at fruit parlors and cafes across the prefecture. It is truly a summer-only treat.

Access and Basic Information

You can enjoy it at fruit parlors and cafes around JR Okayama Station and near Korakuen Garden. During peak season, some popular shops have lines.

A Quick Tip

Since the season is very short, check the serving period in advance if you visit in summer. Choosing fresh white peaches themselves as a souvenir is also always welcome.
