   The Tokyo Blue were very similar to the Buttercup in taste and texture. The   
   main physical difference was the color of the skin, more of a blue-green than   
   true blue. Also, the Tokyo Blue seemed more spherical. The Buttercup produced   
   significantly more    
   fruits per plant so we'll do those in the coming garden season as opposed to   
   the Tokyo Blues.
