These "Hassaku" is citrus fruits of the new Japanese specialty
on a par with a mandarin orange. Although it is an image sour [ considering
a name ], in fact, that is not right, either. It is said that it was named
"Hassaku" since it was discovered in Innoshima-shi, Hiroshima
and eaten from the time of the day of "Saku" in August of the
lunar calendar. It is made as updating crops of a mandarin orange in many
cases, and a producing district also has many same areas as a mandarin
orange. Also in it, it is said that Wakayama Prefecture produces 60 percent
of the whole country.
Usually, after making it gather a harvest and attain full maturity within
the year, it ships. While it had been made to grow into a tree, the thing
made to attain full maturity up until last minute is called "Kinari-Hassaku".
Furthermore, the thing made to grow into a tree till April is called "Satsuki-Hassaku".
These "Hassaku" is a size like a Chinese citron, and an appearance.
There is a very sweet scent in a smell. If it puts on the room, a sweet
scent drifts occasionally and it is comfortable. If the skin is stripped
off, an inner fruit is also orange and resembles the Chinese citron too.
It is not unexpectedly sour, if it turns to the bag of fruits and eats
like a Chinese citron. It is decent and is the touch which is not sticky.
If it says that "Hassaku" with little this acidity is easy to eat, that is right, but that is also right if it says that it is unsatisfactory.
