Unshu Mikan

Unshu Mikan is a type of mandarin orange that is highly regarded for its sweet and flavorful taste. The fruit is medium-sized with a thin and easy-to-peal skin. The segments are tender and virtually seedless, making them a popular choice for snacking and use in various dishes. Unshu Mikan is an important part of Japanese culture and is often associated with the New Year celebration. It is also exchanged as a gift during the winter season.

FARM FACT: The farm is located in the Shizuoka Prefecture. The farmer focuses on cultivating oranges that are naturally sweet and delicious by reducing the use of chemical fertilizers as much as possible, controlling the natural soil environment by using earthworms and micro-organisms, and using organic fertilizers that they have developed by blending bonito flakes, natto bacteria, and other ingredients.
