Uken Citrus

Located in the west of Amami Oshima, Uken Village, overlooking Yakinai Bay, is a citrus village blessed with a warm subtropical climate. Growing on mountain slopes, the Tankan and Ponkan absorb plenty of sweetness from the strong sunlight and sea breezes. Tankan is a citrus variety believed to have been naturally created by the crossbreeding of Ponkan and orange, and Kagoshima ranks among the top in Japan for both cultivation area and production volume. Its charm lies in its convenience, as the peel can be removed by hand and the fruit can be eaten easily. With strong sweetness, mild acidity, and a wonderful aroma, the peak season is from winter to spring. The overflowing juice and gentle sweetness are true evidence of being raised in the subtropics. Please taste these juicy citrus fruits nurtured by the sun.
