"Kitahara Mild 130 (High Grade)",Extra-Sweet Mikan, Ripened for 130 Days to Concentrate Its Natural Nutrients, (S size /500g+) | Delivery: 7th-8th Nov

“Mild 130” is a premium Japanese mikan produced in Fukuoka Prefecture, known for its gentle flavor and refined balance of sweetness and acidity. The name signifies the growers’ philosophy: each fruit spends more than 130 days on the tree, slowly accumulating nutrients and natural sugars through meticulous care and sunlight control.

The orchards are located on sloped terrain covered with reflective sheets, ensuring even exposure to sunlight while preventing excess rainwater from soaking into the soil. This method promotes healthy roots and encourages the gradual concentration of flavor inside each fruit.

From cultivation to harvest, every step follows strict standards. Experienced farmers carefully evaluate the fruit’s size, skin tone, and ripeness, followed by optical inspections measuring internal quality factors such as sugar and acidity. Only the finest fruits are hand-selected and approved to carry the “Mild 130” label.

The result is a mikan with a smooth texture, thin peel, and naturally rich sweetness that defines the taste of early-winter Japan. “Mild 130” represents the culmination of patient farming and refined craftsmanship — a fruit grown not for speed, but for depth of flavor and perfect balance.
