'Tsukikagami' is a new yellow-fleshed table peach (Prunus persica (L). Batsch) cultivar released in 2010 by the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, Institute of Fruit Tree Science in Japan. 'Tsukikagami' was selected from seedlings obtained from a cross between Peach Tsukuba 115 and Peach Tsukuba 105. 'Tsukikagami' was originally designated as Peach Tsukuba 123 and was evaluated in the 8th national trial of peaches at 15 experimental stations in Japan beginning in 2001.
