Kiku Apple Review

"A Fuji In Disguise"

Kiku Apple

Buyer beware! This exclusive Italian club apple is nothing more than a Fuji off-shoot rebranded as an undiscovered Pokemon. Known as a “sport” apple, the Kiku is a variant of its Fuji parent found growing on the same tree – only slightly redder and larger. But, make no mistake, this is not the evolutionary Blastoise to the Fuji’s Squirtle. In fact, a Kiku is nearly indistinguishable from a Fuji aside from its increased cost, decreased availability, and being named after a Japanese anime girl’s sneeze.

  1. Bought this at the Asian market thinking I was expanding my horizons, walked right past the Fuji apples for a Honeycrisp. No Honeycrisp, ok, well what’s that… Kiku? Not familiar… but surely they wouldn’t hustle me into buying a glossed up D-lux Fuji at premium prices, this is a small grocer, they like the community, they like me… LIES. I can’t wash the taste of nihilism out of my mouth. Heed my mistake children.

  2. Every now and then I remember the last line of this review, quietly say “ki-KU!!!” to myself in a high-pitched anime girl voice, and giggle quietly to myself.
