Donna, my Shinkos are just coming in now and I have read elsewhere that it is a later one so I question the date at Corvallis. This year their taste is poor - gritty, tough skin, and lacking in flavor and sweetness. Kosui and Yoinashi on the other hand were excellent.

Now that the Asians have reached the point of edibility, the Kieffers are still better. According to Corvallis Shinko should have been ready to eat a month ago, which implies that all 3 are KG. However, the one labeled KG seems a bit less edible than the others, so maybe not. Donna
