Dekopon (Shiranui)
A cross between Ponkan and Kiyomi oranges. In Kagawa, a variety called "Shiranuhi" is grown, which has a strong sweetness and a moderate sourness. It is a good size, and you can eat the thin skin inside, so it is popular for its ease of eating. Freshly harvested Shiranui are sweet and sour, but they are stored for 1 to 4 months until the sourness has disappeared and they are ready to eat before being shipped. There are "mid-late kan" varieties with high sugar content, along with hassaku and kiyomi, which are available from early summer. Each fruit is grown individually wrapped in a bag, and those with an average sugar content of 1 degrees or more and citric acid of 1 degrees or less are sold as "Sanuki San Fruits".
