Kabuchī

seasonal peak
October
Kabuchī is an uncommon local variety of citrus native to Okinawa that is seldom seen outside the prefecture. It has a thicker peel than standard mandarins, with a gentle sweetness and an elegant, refreshing aroma. Ripe kabuchī contains flavonoid polyphenols such as nobiletin and tangeretin, and is attracting attention as a fruit that supports overall health. The usual way to enjoy kabuchī is to peel and eat it as fresh fruit, and because its season coincides with school sports days in October, it has earned the affectionate nickname “sports day mandarin.” In recent years, it has also been made into products like juices and jellies, alcoholic beverages that showcase the peel’s aroma, and even aroma oils.
