i grew ichiban a few years ago. it is a very productive plant! eggplant can be eaten at any size you don't have to wait for them to get bigger. in fact older fruits can be either bitter or tough i forget which tho i think bitter. i used to pick all my eggplants of any variety based upon how many were maturing, it was hard to keep up so i picked them smaller rather than larger.
