Jabara of Shimokitayama Village
Its name, 'Jabara,' is written with characters meaning 'to drive away evil.' It is a unique citrus fruit with an incredibly auspicious name. Originally, it was discovered from a single tree in the neighboring Kitayama Village in Wakayama Prefecture, representing a rare natural hybrid found anywhere in the world. Due to its very strong acidity, it has traditionally been cherished as a good luck charm for New Year's cuisine. Eventually, word spread that it could alleviate allergy symptoms such as hay fever, making it a sudden sensation and a notable local specialty. It is also cultivated in Shimokitayama Village, which shares a border with Kitayama. Juices, ponzu, and jams that utilize its intense acidity are popular. A single squeeze can sharply enhance the flavor of a dish, making it a citrus fruit unique to Oku-Yoshino. Please enjoy this incomparable taste nurtured by the mountains of Oku-Yoshino.
