Hi, Charlie,
This is my third year growing the Ichiban eggplants.  After trying several 
varieties, including the large italian type,  I grow Ichiban exclusively.  I 
find them more prolific and better tasting.  

The fruit harvested is anywhere from 8 to 12 inches long, and 1 1/2 to 2 
inches in diameter.  Towards the end of the season they are shorter and 
thinner, more like the size you describe.  What do you feed them?  I use an 
organic foliage fertilizer of fish emulsion, to which I add kelp emulsion 
(according to label directions.)

Enjoy your eggplants.  How do you cook them?
