When I was in Korea, I got to try shine muscat and kyoho grapes. They usually have seeds, but by using giberellic acid on the flowers they are 95% seedless. Very expensive as it requires a lot of labor to keep the grapes seedless. Higher end grapes were selling about $25 a bunch. To get the fruits bigger, I have heard that they thin the grapes in the bunch. That is why I doubt that shine muscat will be grown in the US- it is not worth the cost of growing the grapes commercially.
Does anyone else grow Kyoho or ruby Roman? Has it ever produced the golf ball sized grapes? Do they taste the same as the ones in Japan?
