What kind? There are two kinds of persimmons, one that's does NOT have the astringency when unripe (e.g. Fuyu) and one which is so astringent it's basically inedible when unripe (e.g. Hachiya). See e.g. this.
Another way to taste tannins is to chew on an oak leaf.
This one was closer to a Fuyu but we seem to have persimmons that are shaped like Fuyu's and Fuyu's shaped like persimmons from time to time.
The thing I ate was labelled a Persimmon (by a supermarket) but tasted like a Fuyu and looked like a Fuyu in that picture. At this point I have given up trying to tease them apart because its not worth it. It was still a fairly unripe fuyu... I will be looking for an oak tree...
