Toyo Town Ponkan
When you peel the skin, a soft, sweet aroma spreads through the air. The highlight of winter is Toyo Town's ponkan. Toyo Town, the easternmost part of Kochi Prefecture, consists of steeply sloping coastal hills facing the Pacific Ocean. Through land reclamation projects in the 1960s and 70s, it established itself as the largest ponkan production area in the prefecture and has now grown to account for approximately 40% of Kochi's total ponkan production. Growing under the intense sunlight and sea breezes from the ocean, Koau Ponkan features an exquisite balance of high sugar content and a subtle acidity. While the peel is somewhat thick, it is easy to slip off by hand, and the lack of seeds makes them very convenient to eat, which is a major appeal. Please enjoy this pride of Toyo Town—a citrus fruit bathed in abundant sunlight that brightly colors your dining table during the cold season.
