To compare two things, I would use:

りんごのほうがみかんより美味しいです。

i.e. noun のほうがnoun よりadjective

But how can I say, "Out of these five fruits, apples are the most delicious"? Or "Out of Seoul, Tokyo, and Shanghai, Shanghai is the biggest"?

この五種類の果物の{中/うち}で、りんごが{一番/最も}おいしいです。
ソウルや、東京、上海の{中/うち}で上海が{一番/最も}大きいです。

  • @Flaw No. That is only for comparing two things.
