Hassaku (Kinokawa City)

After peeling away the thick skin and gently removing the pith, plump segments are revealed. Once in your mouth, a bursting texture accompanies an immediate wave of sweetness, acidity, and bitterness. This slightly bitter, mature flavor is precisely what makes Hassaku so charming. It offers a depth of flavor that is distinct from a standard mandarin orange. Wakayama is a major production area responsible for the majority of Japan's Hassaku. Kinokawa City, in particular, began cultivation early around 1965 and has long supported the Wakayama Hassaku industry. It reaches its peak season from winter to spring, during the time when other fruits are scarce. Each segment provides just the right amount of refreshing sweet and sour goodness.
