New Summer Orange
Peel the skin thinly just like an apple, and take a big bite including the white pith. The refreshing acidity and the subtle sweetness of the pith overlap, spreading the scent of early summer throughout your mouth. This citrus fruit, known by this name in Izu, is called "Hyuganatsu" in Miyazaki and "Konatsu" in Kochi. It is said to have been introduced to Izu around the beginning of the Taisho era. The traditional way to bring out its deliciousness is to peel only the outer skin thinly and eat the white pith (albedo) along with the pulp. When the gentle sweetness of the pith meets the acidity of the pulp, it achieves its true flavor. There is also an abundance of processed products such as juice and jam. If you travel to Izu in early summer, please be sure to try this juicy citrus fruit.
