The comprehensive resource for apples and orchards

Shizuka apple

Same parentage as Mutsu (Crispin). Large. Yellow with red-orange blush. Sweeter with less acid than Mutsu (not necessarily preferable), but excellent flavor.

I tried this for the first time today and like John said, it's one of the best apple varieties I've ever tasted! I usually go for red apples, specifically Galas, but this definitely gives them a run for their money!

We recently went apple picking and the farm had some of this variety. Since none of us had heard of it before, of course we had to try them. They were some of the best apples any of us have every had. Why you never see these in the stores surprises me.
