The citrus season is finally coming to an end.

There are two types of blood oranges, but the Tarocco variety available in April has a milder flavor than the Moro variety from February.

Kogane-kan has a juice that is perfectly balanced like a cocktail, with a gentle sweet and sour taste similar to honey yuzu or honey lemon.

Kogane-kan is believed to be a natural cross between Satsuma mandarin and yuzu, and it is said to have been consumed since the Meiji era.

The texture of the peel and pith is exactly like yuzu, while the flesh is like a mandarin.

When processing them, I can't help but think of a line from an old man in a movie, "I know your parents well."

Citrus fruits, with their rich aroma and colors, are always wonderful ingredients, I think.

Thanks to the farmers who cultivate these fruits for a year and ship them every year,

we can experience the changing seasons repeatedly and look forward to the future.
