I have grown Japanese Momotaro Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) for the last three years. It is a hybrid indeterminate type. The fruit is usually smooth, a good size, and seldom has blemishes. It is most popular in Japan. Japanese Monotaro is amongst my favorites for appearance alone, being almost perfect. It sort of has the appearance of the ideal tomato. It is a bit later than other tomato plants started at the same time, and usually produces 25 large, similar in size tomatoes.
I envy you. ( the good years that is!) I have not had good luck with Momotaro Tomatoes. I guess it is too hot where I am, even in partial shade.
