Tsukumi Mikan (Mandarin Oranges)
With one bite, plenty of juice bursts forth, spreading a rich sweetness. Peeling one while sitting in a kotatsu during the cold winter is truly exceptional. These are the sun-blessed mandarins that Tsukumi prides itself on. The history of mandarin cultivation in Tsukumi City is very old; some ancient trees, which are among the oldest in Japan and designated as national natural monuments, still remain in the city. Terraced fields spread across the steep slopes of the Ria coast, where excellent sunlight, good drainage, and the reflection of light from the sea cultivate mandarins with intense sweetness. The season continues from autumn to winter, varying by variety from early-ripening to Satsuma mandarins. Please taste the mellow sweetness of Tsukumi, a place that has walked alongside mandarin oranges since ancient times.
