Yakushima Tankan Sweets

Yakushima, a World Natural Heritage island, is also known as a famous production area for Tankan. Tankan is a citrus fruit believed to have been naturally created by the crossbreeding of Ponkan and Orange, and about 80% of its production takes place on the remote islands of Kagoshima. On the high-altitude island of Yakushima, the temperature difference between day and night significantly enhances the sweetness of the Tankan. Full-scale cultivation began in the 1950s, and it is now a representative taste of spring on the island. There are many sweets that utilize this refreshing flavor. You can find various souvenirs such as Tankan jelly, jam, and cake that allow you to enjoy the juicy citrus aroma. Please enjoy the Tankan sweets nurtured by the nature of Yakushima.
