That's a sure sign of an under-ripe persimmon. I didn't even know they had non-astringent persimmons- maybe they're different... but the ones I've always had weren't ripe until they were so soft you'd almost think they were rotten. They weren't oozing or doing anything disgusting- they were just very soft, much softer than a ripe peach or plum. I think they were as soft as a VERY ripe tomato.Yes, I think I ate it too soon...it left a weird dry prickly sensation in my mouth.

This is great, thank you! I'm pretty sure I have only ever seen the Hachiya but I will definitely be on the lookout. I may hop around to a few stores on my lunch hour today. Maybe TJ's or Whole Foods will carry different varieties.I'm not keen on the ones that are astringent. However, when they are ripe they are delicious.
