Shinkansen Eggplant is a sleek, Japanese-style variety prized for its slender, glossy fruits and tender, mild flesh. Fast-growing and highly productive, this plant performs beautifully in Southern California heat, with a compact habit ideal for raised beds and small spaces. We love Shinkansen for its early harvests, smooth skin that rarely needs peeling, and delicate flavor that’s perfect for stir-fries, tempura, and grilling.
