Takizawa Mikan "Nozomi" (Variety: Yura Wase) from FRONTIER WORKS (Gift box/2kg) | Delivery: 7th-15th Nov

Takizawa Mikan “Nozomi” is a premium Japanese mikan born on the sun-drenched south-facing slopes of Shizuoka’s Enshu region.

This time, we’re delivering the Yura Wase variety from the “Nozomi” line — a round-shaped mikan that stands out among others, which are often slightly flat. Even with its greenish peel, it’s naturally sweet and delicious. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the contrast between its fresh, tangy look and its gentle sweetness. As it has a hint of acidity, it’s perfect for those who enjoy mandarins with a refreshing bite. If you prefer a mellower taste, let it rest for about a week — its sweetness will deepen as the acidity softens.

Taste & Characteristics

• Silky, juicy texture with an ultra-thin, easy-to-peel skin
• Over several days, acidity softens and sweetness deepens with balance and length
• A refined, naturally sweet flavour — perfect for those who appreciate subtle luxury

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.
