Smooth, apple-like texture, hint of vanilla flavor as it ages.  This pear is a cross between Nijisseiki and Imamura Aki and is superior to Niitaka.  Atago is our largest pear, and holds the world record for largest pear at 6 lb 8 oz.  It's flavor improves the longer you keep it, up to 6 months. 10/15
