The Kyoho grape, originating from Japan and bred from the Hakunan and Akitsu-21 varieties, is renowned for its large, seedless, and glossy green fruits with thin skins. Its crisp texture, mild sweetness, and subtle floral aroma, often likened to milk or ripe fruit, make it a favorite among connoisseurs.
A unique aspect of Kyoho grape cultivation is the “one branch, one cluster” principle. Farmers prune the vines to ensure each branch bears only a single cluster, concentrating nutrients and resulting in uniformly large, high-quality grapes. A mature cluster typically weighs 400-500 grams, with fruits arranged in a lush, vibrant pattern of green-yellow or purple hues, depending on the variety.
In recent years, successful Kyoho grape cultivation has expanded across Vietnam, making this premium fruit more accessible. Prices have dropped to 400,000-500,000 VND/kg, compared to imported varieties, allowing more consumers to enjoy its exquisite flavor.
However, growing Kyoho grapes in Vietnam’s tropical climate is challenging. This high-maintenance variety requires significant investment in infrastructure and meticulous care. Most farmers use greenhouses or shade nets to control rainfall, temperature, and pests. Inside, light, humidity, and temperature are closely monitored to create an optimal growing environment.
Each growth stage demands specific care. Organic fertilizers enhance soil quality and natural sweetness, while semi-automatic drip irrigation conserves water and maintains ideal moisture levels. Sturdy trellises, moisture-retaining mats, and transparent nylon covers protect the vines from heavy rain and intense sunlight.
After two years, the vines begin yielding stable harvests for many years. With proper care, Kyoho grapes can produce two annual crops, peaking around June. Before harvesting, farmers prune smaller or damaged fruits to ensure uniform quality and appearance.
Beyond fresh fruit sales, many farms offer agritourism experiences. During harvest season, visitors can stroll through lush vineyards, observe advanced cultivation techniques, and handpick ripe grapes at discounted prices. The clean, vibrant setting has become a popular spot for families and young groups to explore, photograph, and enjoy grape-based products like juice, jam, syrup, and dried grapes.
