It ripens in late spring and early summer, giving it a seasonal character distinct from Japan's winter citruses. Ehime Prefecture, on Shikoku island, is Japan's most prolific citrus-growing region, producing dozens of varieties across a landscape shaped by mild winters, abundant sun, and generations of specialist citrus farmers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e Citrusy, Fruity, Bitter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chewy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to enjoy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEat straight as a snack alongside a piece of dark chocolate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChop finely and fold into scones, madeleines, or shortbread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse as a cocktail garnish or drop into a gin and tonic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBorderless Bite:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair with sicilian Candied Orange Peels for two candied citrus traditions from opposite ends of the world worth eating side-by-side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.05 oz (30g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amanatsu, beet sugar, millet jelly, ascorbic acid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDietary notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegan, gluten-free, no artificial additives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens:\u003c\/strong\u003e None declared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store in a cool, dry place; shelf-stable 12–24 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KANKITSU LABO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46702254489777,"sku":"UMCR90002","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4259\/4993\/files\/10f25f52beaaee2af3bfd4c5c91aba0f65087e79b1c22f4adde59cb10be797a0.jpg?v=1773125726","url":"https:\/\/borderlessbazaar.com\/products\/candied-japanese-amanatsu-peel","provider":"Borderless Bazaar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
