Japanese Noted Foods  Buntan  
 Report

The "Buntan" was a special foods of Kochi, but what I heard has not lived either. I know "Bunta Sugawara"... Still, it is some strange name. Raw wood seems to understand that I examine an origin, but does not seem to understand where the Raw wood came from. There seem to be the various opinions that were possible by mutation. The great person of the university seems to have acquired the name.

There are Tosa "Buntan" and crystal "Buntan" in Kochi, and the kinds seem to be different, too. As for Tosa "Buntan", most are alley cultivation. On the other hand, as for crystal "Buntan", greenhouse cultivation is important. Crystal "Buntan" is bigger than Tosa "Buntan".



Because I am obstinate, the outside yellow skin cannot get fruits unless I peel it with a knife. Two or three kinds entered when they opened a real film of the inside. The fruit is solid like Citrus natsudaidai very heavily; and, as for the size, is around 2 times. The color resembles a grapefruit. It is easy to eat very much if I peel even outside skin.

When it eats, I am not so sour, and it is refined taste. It is the feeling that took acidity out of a grapefruit. Because it is expensive, it is regrettable that it is rarely eaten. When it is Tosa "Buntan", there seems to be bitterness a little.

Other "Buntan" to see in a supermarket is small. "Buntan" of genuine Tosa is big and is high.
