Haruka, with its gentle taste, is something I look forward to every year.

The flavor of this citrus fruit has a unique, mild sweetness that can't be replaced by anything else.

It's like a sweet grapefruit,

and brings back the nostalgic comfort

of the mixed juice I drank as a child.

Fruits are truly wonderful.

Nino Farm's citrus orchard is located

right by Uwajima Bay.

The yellow citrus fruits ripening on the trees

shone like lighthouses illuminating the sea.

It was a wonderful, historic landscape

where demanding fishing and farming seemed to support each other,

and the beautiful sea and mountains were in harmony.

I look forward to each year's harvest.
