About this book
Citrus is Japan's winter sun.
Japan's Citrus Culture is the complete guide to 200 citrus regions, varieties and orchard traditions: the fragrant sour citrus — yuzu, sudachi, kabosu, shikuwasa — that Japan squeezes but rarely eats; the great mandarin lineages from satsuma to the newest branded hybrids; the terraced orchard kingdoms of Ehime, Wakayama and Kochi; the growers' craft of grafting, thinning and reading sugar through the skin; the table culture of ponzu, yuzu kosho and the kotatsu mikan; and the journeys — island ferries, blossom roads, Sunday markets — that let you meet it all where it grows.
Every entry gives the fruit and its source, the growing and the craft, the taste and the table, and a Meeting It note directing you to the official source for current seasons and details — because this book describes character, not this year's calendar. Written and produced in Japan by Aki Wakamatsu.
Written and created in Japan by Japanese author Aki Wakamatsu. Published by Takikawa TOKOTOKO Kids LLC, a Japanese publisher in Hokkaido, Japan. Authentic Japanese content, carefully made in Japan — not mass-produced.
