Mitoyo and Kurume are top in fruit quality from the Japanese ones I tried, they are quite green inside, which imo is a sign of quality not the other way around. The white ones are borderline tasteless imo and I haven't seen yet a dark skinned one that is truly white inside. Quite white inside but not fully is Black Dragon Supreme F1 which I grew this year, great variety, taste is still good, very good vigor and production but plants are still somewhat compact, nice looking fruits, with good gloss, shape, thin skin and uniform color (here you can see the advantages of a hybrid). I don't think you can find seeds for this one.
Xi'an green is a staple after growing it two years, especially suited for those with colder climates, very early, more milder, sweeter taste than the classic black ones. Certainly one of the best non-hybrids out there.
Millionaire F1 is probably a good bet for a start since everyone is praising it.
