Japanese Mikan Box

One of Japan's most favoured fruits is the Karatsu Onshitsu Mikan, which boasts a thin skin that can be easily peeled, and a dense pulp that is free of seeds. They are not only a delicious and enjoyable snack due to their rich citrus aroma and balanced sweetness-acidity level of 13° Brix, but also a healthy one.

STORAGE

Mikans can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week if kept in a plastic bag or in their original packaging.
