About Hyuganatsu

Hyuganatsu has an unusual way of being eaten: the yellow skin is removed while some of the white albedo is kept. Discovered in Japan in the nineteenth century, it has become one of the emblematic citrus of Miyazaki. Unlike most citrus, this white layer beneath the rind is valued for its mildness and is eaten along with the flesh, balancing its acidity. The classic type is self-incompatible, and cross-pollination improves fruit set — but also brings seeds.

Our observations at the nursery

At the nursery, Hyuganatsu comes to maturity in January. We think highly of the eating quality of its fruit.

Hyuganatsu or another variety?

Hyuganatsu stands apart above all for its edible albedo and its fresh profile. It is a very different proposition from the yuzus, whose interest lies more in the zest and the aromatic juice. To go further, see our Japanese citrus category.
