Looks like/similar to the Italian Honey fig to me.
OK, maybe it is lacking those IH characteristic skin-ribs.
Showing a leaf shape will be extra helpful.


Edit: Oops, I missed the leaves! Tomorrow I'll
compare them with mine (if any is left).

I just noticed when I posted the word for fig in japanese it changed into ????

Could this fig be Marseillaise (syns. Athènes, Figue de Marseilles, Petite Marseillaise, Ficus carica massiliensis Risso)
I personally have no clue what a marseillaise fig looks like, yes Gorgi the interior does look similar to IH but these are small they have it listed as between 20-40 grams. Ficazzana also has same interior atleast Adrianos does


Heres the link to that page the athene fig is the third one down I believe
