Whole UNSHU Mikans (Japanese Mandarin Oranges from Wakayama prefecture) preserved in their own juice and sweet syrup, are placed in a clear glass jar filled with subtly sweet jelly. By covering Mikan with jelly instead of syrup, you are able to enjoy the very last drop of its juice that the jelly holds. This subtle sweetness of the jelly enhances your experience of enjoying the luxury sweetness of UNSHU Mikan.

Once you have a bite, the rich juice of Mikan fills your mouth. You will find it very easy to finish eating the whole Mikan without much chewing due to its delicate texture. Yet, despite their delicateness, these whole Mikan retain their beautiful shape and color. You can see the manufacturer’s attentive work and respect for their local fruits. GOROTTO represents the Mikan’s wholeness and round shape, which could roll away if you let it go. The beautifully round shape and bright orange color almost looks like the sun, which will add some warmth and peace to your green tea moment.
