Omuta Early-season Mandarin Oranges
Early-season mandarin oranges are now loved nationwide. But did you know that the roots of their development lie right here in Omuta? During the Meiji era, near an agricultural experimental station established by the Tachibana family (former lords of the Ryugawa Domain) to promote agriculture, an early-ripening Satsuma mandarin was discovered and named 'Miyagawa Wase.' To promote its spread, the Tachibana family established a model mandarin orchard in the Omuta Kamiuchi district, and eventually, this variety became the mainstream for early-season mandarins across the country. Growing on sunny slopes overlooking the Ariake Sea, these oranges possess an exquisite balance of sweetness and acidity. They are a juicy, prideful taste of Omuta that appears first in shops at the start of autumn.
