About Kishu Kino Kuni Mandarin
Kino Kuni belongs to the Kishu group, the very small mandarins valued for their sweetness and fragrance. Small as they are, the fruit carries a striking intensity of flavour and peels easily. The name Kishu covers several clones and selections, so it matters not to confuse Kino Kuni with the modern seedless selections such as Mukaku Kishu.
