Shizuoka Mikan MITSUKI Nozomi Classic Taguchi Wase 2kg Gift Box | Delivery: 28th NOV - 6th Dec

Takizawa Mikan “Hikari” is a premium Japanese mikan born on the sun-drenched south-facing slopes of Shizuoka.

This time we present the Taguchiwase variety from the “Hikari” lineage.
Its defining characteristics are a delicate sweetness balanced with crisp acidity, a smooth texture from its thin skin and delicate grape membrane, and a juicy mouthfeel. The appearance is neat and slightly flattened. It peels easily by hand, revealing fine-grained, elegant flesh. With an early harvest window and rapid acid reduction and sugar accumulation, you can enjoy lingering sweetness right from the first bunch. Savor the “seasonal sweetness.”

Taste & Characteristics

• Silky smooth and juicy, with thin skin that peels easily by hand and a soft, delicate inner skin that melts gently and elegantly on the palate
• Moist sweetness adds depth, creating a clear, lingering finish balanced by citrusy freshness
• Pure sweetness nurtured by abundant nature—perfect for those who appreciate the beautiful balance of refined sweetness and acidity

Provenance & Craftsmanship

Grown in the Enshū region of Shizuoka Prefecture, where warm Pacific breezes and abundant sunshine nurture the fruit.

Producers use organic-based soil building, blending local oyster shell calcium and dairy compost to enhance natural fertility.

Through mulch cultivation and careful moisture management, each fruit develops a thin, tender peel and concentrated juiciness.

This meticulous approach embodies the harmony between nature, craft, and sustainability that defines Takizawa Mikan.

How to Enjoy

• Chill briefly before serving for a crisp, aromatic bite.
• Best enjoyed gradually — savour one fruit each day to experience its evolving sweetness.
• Ideal for pairing with fine tea or as a refreshing dessert after meals.
• Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight.
