Shiranui Mandarin Orange
Shiranui (不知火) is a hybrid between a Ponkan tangerine and a Kiyomi Tangor (sweet orange x satsuma mandarin). It sports a protruding top and thick but easy-to-peel skin, and is entirely seedless.
Shiranuis are considered to be one of the sweetest and most flavorful varieties of citrus on the market. It also has a soft & pulpy flesh which is extremely juicy.
