Hagi Natsumikan Jelly

This refreshing Natsumikan jelly evokes the early summer in the castle town of Hagi. An abundance of fruit juice is blended into a smooth, silky texture. The history of Hagi's Natsumikan began in the early Meiji era, when cultivation started in manor gardens to support samurai families who had lost their stipends during the Meiji Restoration. Eventually, it became Hagi's representative specialty, and at its peak, the entire town was enveloped in its fragrance. This jelly captures that very acidity and sweetness, making it a delightful chilled treat for the hot season. With its cool texture and refreshing tartness, it is the perfect gift for warm weather. Keep it chilled in the refrigerator to enjoy the scent of early summer in Hagi anytime. It is a dish that allows you to savor the full bounty of citrus nurtured by the history of the castle town.
