Natsumikan Aogiri (Summer Mandarin Jelly)
This is a Hagi-style dry confectionery made by slowly simmering the peels of young, green summer mandarins in sugar syrup. It is said that the summer mandarin cultivation in Hagi began during the Meiji era when Obata Takamasa distributed seedlings to support former samurai who had lost their livelihoods, and they were planted around the samurai residences. 'Natsumikan Aogiri' is made by slicing the peels while the mandarins are still young and green, then simmering them in sugar syrup. It is one of the traditional summer mandarin confections, concentrating the refreshing citrus aroma and a subtle bitterness. Behind the bitterness lies a spreading, refreshing sweetness. When served with tea, its elegant flavor stands out even more. A single bite allows the fragrance of Hagi's summer to unfold. This is a dry confection for adults, nurtured by history and the local climate.
