Persimmons. I know they're available at least in the bay area because I had them when I lived there briefly, but have never found them in my regular home in the pacific northwest. I also don't remember them as a kid growing up in Tennessee.
I get them in Texas from the Korean market. I don't know that they're available year round though.
I'd be surprised if you couldn't find any via Asian markets in the Pacific Northwest.
Oooh I haven't checked there, thank you!
I keep thinking back to this. I believe persimmons are in season in the fall, so if you don't find them now, go back in a few months and you should have better luck.
Note that there are two different cultivars I've seen sold in the Bay Area.
Fuyu. These are typically eaten crunchy (and are so even when ripe), like an apple. They look kind of like a tomato, are short and wide.
Hachiya. There are very soft, almost a jell-o consistency, when ripe, and are very fragile. My dad used to grow them in his backyard.

We have persimmons in Michigan
Those are very late season fruit. I wasn't aware they weren't available up north. Look for them starting in October, I think.
