Japanese Noted Foods  Sweet Summer  
 Report

Now, it is the Chinese citron which became nostalgic. Although often eaten a long time ago, it stopped eating not much these days.

Seemingly, "Amanatsu" (: Sweet Summer) differs from a Chinese citron. "Amanatsu" is the mutation seeds of a Chinese citron, is smaller than a Chinese citron, and acidity says that it is few and sweet taste is strong. It is said that it stores after harvest, and it ships after sweet taste comes out.



The surface is uneven. And a sweet scent is very good. But the smell of the surface of the skin and an inner fruit is a little different. This is uncanny when the skin is stripped off by hand after a long time. Juice jumps out of the surface of the skin and it is a terrible quantity. A hand is already sticky. The skin is also thickness.

The thin layer of an inner yellow fringe was stripped off and eaten. This is nostalgic flavor. Sweet-sourness spreads and spreads into a mouth. This sour is good. It is nice.

After eating, the hand has got wet in sticky. It is necessary to wash. But this cannot be stopped.
