Hyuganatsu

Savoring it along with the fluffy white peel. After a refreshing acidity, a subtle sweetness from the white pith follows, making your mouth feel like spring all at once. Hyuganatsu is a specialty citrus of Miyazaki. It is said to have begun with a single tree accidentally discovered in Soi, in the old Miyazaki District, during the Bunsei era (around 1818–1829) at the end of the Edo period. The name comes from the fact that Miyazaki was once known as Hyuga Province. Although it was too sour to eat when first discovered, repeated cultivation and breeding have developed it into a local specialty. A unique way to enjoy this fruit is to peel the outer skin thinly, like an apple, while leaving the white pith intact. This is a Miyazaki citrus that heralds the beginning of early summer.
