About Product
Harvested in autumn in the warmest regions of Kochi Prefecture, Suisho Buntan is a rare Japanese pomelo variety prized for its clarity, fragrance, and balanced flavor.
Named “Suisho,” meaning crystal, for its luminous, translucent flesh, this fruit embodies the beauty and precision of Japanese cultivation.
Each pomelo is carefully nurtured under protective black nets as harvest approaches. The nets prevent uneven coloration and, by gently absorbing sunlight, encourage slow and complete ripening. This process refines the natural balance of sweetness and acidity, resulting in an exceptionally smooth, rounded flavor profile.
Delicately aromatic, with a glossy golden peel and elegantly juicy segments, Suisho Buntan is often regarded as the “Queen of Citrus” for its harmony of color, taste, and scent.
Due to its sensitivity to cold, cultivation is limited to select greenhouse growers in Kochi, making it a highly seasonal and limited-availability fruit enjoyed only in autumn.
Experience one of Japan’s most refined citrus fruits — a seasonal treasure that embodies craftsmanship, patience, and purity.
