Natsukan Ame (Summer Mandarin Candy)
A refreshing sweet representing summer in Kyoto, made by pouring agar into the hollowed-out peel of a summer mandarin (Natsumikan). It is produced by the long-established Kinoshita, known as a specialist in Yusoku-gashi (traditional court confectionery). This prestigious Kyoto confectionery shop has locations in areas like Arashiyama. The process involves hollowing out the summer mandarin, mixing the extracted juice with agar, and pouring it back into the peel. By chilling and setting it, it is finished as a cool treat that can be enjoyed including the peel. The moderate acidity and subtle bitterness are exactly like the fruit itself. The smooth texture and refreshing aroma provide instant relief on a hot Kyoto day. This is a luxurious item available only during the season from spring to summer.
