Yakushima Tankan

The Tankan is a citrus fruit from Yakushima that heralds the arrival of spring. Believed to be a natural hybrid of Ponkan and Orange, Tankan grows freely in the subtropical environment of Yakuna. It is characterized by high sugar content, mild acidity, and a wonderful aroma, with the charm of being able to eat it along with the thin inner peel. Reaching its peak season from February to March, it is truly a fruit that announces spring. Much of Japan's Tankan is carefully cultivated in the islands of Kagoshima, including Yakushima. Its rich sweetness allows you to feel spring a little earlier. While delicious eaten fresh, processed products like juice, jam, and jelly are also popular as souvenirs. Please enjoy the intense sweetness nurtured by the nature of Yakushima.
