The Rubī tomato from Oishii is a new fruit variety that delivers sweet, acidic, and umami flavors with every bite. This unique product will primarily be sold in Whole Foods Market's in Jersey City and will be priced at $9.99 per tray. Named after the Japanese word for "ruby," the Rubī tomato from Oishii boasts a vibrant red, shiny exterior.
Cultivated in indoor vertical farms near New York City, the Rubī joins Oishii's lineup, which includes the Omakase and Koyo strawberries, all grown similarly. This introduction aligns with Oishii's expansion across the northeast, following the earlier launch of its flagship Koyo Berry in the DC area and subsequent availability in Maryland, Massachusetts, and New Jersey this summer.
