In Japan alone, there are more than 300 registered varieties of tomatoes. Every single variety has its own distinct shape, color, and flavor. They can be plump, round, and red, long and slender, or deeply ribbed, with colors ranging from red, yellow, and orange to black. Their taste profiles vary widely as well; some are grown for pure sweetness, some have a strong acidity, and others are perfectly suited for eating raw or cooking. This book introduces 50 varieties of tomatoes from a scientific perspective, examining their umami, acidity, and the relationship between the seasons and their flavor.
