/>. — Those which seldom or never lose their astringency unless subjected to special curing. 

 Simplest process to cure is merely by drying fruits in a place where there is free 

 change of air after removing the skin or cured by storing the fruit in rice grain 

 for some days. The other method is more complex. After collecting the fruits in 

 proper time say in the beginning of November, choose the largest and best fruits 

 and pack in a tub moistened previously with Sake (Rice-wine) or any other spirits 

 in close and regular rows, keeping them 15 days in it, this destroys the astringency. 



The tub must be hermetically closed and 



no air should be 



admitted. 



If the 



temperature is warm it cures earlier, if cool 



later. The best nad 



most simple way 



is to use a Sakc-'i\^ immediate after the 



liquor has been emptied. This
