Japanese Dogo Monogatari Dekopon Orange Gift Box (3kg)
$138.00
Grown in the warm, misty climate of Ehime’s Dogo Onsen hot spring region, these vine-ripened Dekopon are harvested at peak ripeness — only Shiranui oranges with a sugar content of 13° or more and acidity below 1.0% qualify to be called “Dekopon,” a rare and carefully cultivated citrus known for its plump, seedless flesh and melt-in-your-mouth texture. They also come with leaves still attached as proof of freshness.
Unlike regular Dekopon that require post-harvest storage to mellow acidity, these fruits are left to ripen on the tree with their leaves intact, allowing the natural acidity to subside and the sugars to concentrate — resulting in a deeply sweet, juicy fruit with mellow citrus notes and exceptional balance.
Enjoy their juicy, satisfying texture and mellow citrus flavor — perfect for those who prefer less tang and more natural sweetness. You can let them ripen a bit more at home for an even smoother juicier taste.
