Delta International Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, President: Takashi Toriumi), a specialized trading company of nuts and dried fruits, will release "Marumaru Mikan" in limited quantities, packing whole Kyushu unshu mandarins into a jar. This product is an upcycled item that utilizes non-standard mandarins that cannot be shipped as fresh fruit due to small size or scratches on the peel. Each mandarin is carefully peeled by hand and processed whole without destroying the pulp.
Background of Development
In recent years, "foods that convey the quality of the ingredients" and "products with a story in the background" have been gaining support. Demand is growing, especially for gift purposes, for products that use domestic ingredients and convey the process of handcrafting.
On the other hand, at unshu mandarin production sites, there are always mandarins generated that are difficult to distribute as fresh fruit because they are small or have scratches or black spots on the peel.
"Marumaru Mikan" was born from an upcycling initiative to regenerate such mandarins as a new value by peeling them by hand one by one and utilizing the whole pulp.

You can enjoy the syrup down to the last drop.
Various Ways to Enjoy
