/>. — 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 and most simple way is to use a Sake-tub immediate after the 

 liquor has been emptied. This process requires quite technical treatment.
