Onaka (grape)

Onaka is a table grape variety originating from Japan. It is known for its large size, typically ranging from 15 to 20 grams per berry, and its round shape. Onaka grapes are typically a deep purple or black color when fully ripe.

The flavor of Onaka grapes is generally described as sweet with a low acidity, making them palatable to a wide range of consumers. The texture is typically firm and juicy.

Onaka grapes are primarily grown and consumed in Japan. They are not as widely cultivated or distributed internationally compared to some other grape varieties. Their relatively limited availability outside of Japan often makes them a premium grape choice.

Cultivation of Onaka grapes requires specific climate conditions and careful management to ensure optimal fruit quality and yield. They are often grown under controlled environments, such as greenhouses, to protect them from the elements and pests.

The grape is sometimes referred to as "Onyx" due to its dark color, though this name may not be consistently used across all regions or vendors. It's essential to verify the variety independently when encountering it under a different name.
