From sashimi to hot pots… In Kochi, citrus fruits are squeezed and used as seasonings, forming the unique “Su-mikan Culture.” Various citrus varieties make their appearance throughout the seasons, with over 30 different variants!
“Bushukan” is a specialty product of Shimanto City, accounting for almost 100% of Japan’s production. Its combination with seared bonito (Katsuo no Tataki) and young Mejika tuna is considered exquisite.
“Finger lime” is characterized by its bead-like pulp and tartness. It is cultivated in Sukumo City, where 25 varieties are grown, and is gaining attention in French restaurants and other culinary scenes.
The “Green Lemon” of Kuroshio Town, Hata District, is known for its distinctive tartness and rich aroma, unique to unripe lemons. Despite its reputation for being difficult to cultivate, a method for stable production has been established. This citrus is now expanding its culinary possibilities, being incorporated into pizzas, sweets, cream pasta, and more.
The dedication and relentless efforts of producers have propelled Kochi’s ingredients into nationally recognized brands.
