Mixed Fruits Compote is made with IYOKAN (Citrus IYO), grapefruit, WAKAMOMO, white peach, Satsuma mandarin and pineapple encased in jelly. This compote has the elegant sweetness of various fruits as well as a hint of acidity. The fruit is bite-sized and easy to eat.
This compote features WAKAMOMO, which are seldom found outside Japan. WAKAMOMO refers to young peaches before the seeds are formed. Early picked young peaches are a rare fruit. Since the fruit has just started to form, it has a beautiful jade green color and at first glance looks like a plum. However, since there are no seeds, they can be eaten whole, and the aroma of fresh peaches fills your mouth when you take a bite.
TThe peaches are grown in Arakawa, Wakayama Prefecture, the largest production area in western Japan. Arakawa's well-drained soil and mild climate are ideal for peach cultivation, which is said to have started about 400 years ago in that area. The high quality and taste of these sweet and delicious peaches have earned a high reputation throughout Japan.
This compote also features Satsuma mandarin. Unlike oranges, mandarins are generally sweeter and less sour. The mandarins used are also from Wakayama Prefecture, the No. 1 production area in Japan. The Arita region has mandarin fields not only in the mountains, but all around the towns. The area's proximity to rivers and the sea has a light-reflecting effect, and the mineral-rich sea breeze is said to improve the taste of the mandarins. For this reason, the region is famous for its mandarins.
Also, the jelly that surrounds the peaches is not syrup, so it is not only delicious and sweet, but also healthy. The young peaches in the transparent jelly look like jewels floating in water.
This unique compote made from rare young peaches is quite fascinating. You are sure to enjoy the excellent flavor and aroma, and the beauty of the jewel-like peaches in the glass jar.
