A Seasonal Jam Produced Only Once a Year

'Jutaro Mandarin Jam' is a seasonal item made with Jutaro mandarins grown at the Nakaya Kaise Farm in the Nishi-Izu/Nishiura region, which has been in business for over 200 years.

Jutaro mandarins are a branded variety said to have originated in the Nishiura area of Shizuoka Prefecture. They are characterized by their high sugar content and excellent balance of sweetness and acidity, making them a popular choice for processed goods.

The Fragrance and Gentle Sweetness of Domestic Mandarins

The jam is finished in a marmalade style, retaining a rich, pulpy texture. It features the rich aroma of domestic mandarin oranges and a gentle sweetness that spreads the moment you take a bite. With a great balance of sweetness and acidity, you can enjoy the original juicy flavor of the fruit.

Perfect with Scones and Yogurt

[Recommended Ways to Enjoy]
With scones or muffins: Spread it with butter for an elegant breakfast or tea time.
With yogurt: Add it to plain or Greek yogurt to further enhance the flavor of the mandarin.

We invite you to savor this special flavor, crafted only once a year to coincide with the harvest season of Jutaro mandarins.
