"Nou 6": A Little-Known Fruit Born for Citrus Breeding Research

"Nou 6" is the common name for "Kankitsu Chukan Boto Nou 6-go," a citrus fruit developed in Japanese research institutions with the aim of breeding new varieties.

Born from a cross between King Mandarin and seedless Kishu mikan, it is a distinctive variety with a rich sweetness and abundant juice. However, due to its small size and thick, difficult-to-peel skin, it is rarely distributed as fresh fruit in the market.

Bringing Out the Ideal Flavor at Peak Ripeness

The "Marugoto Kanjuu Nou 6 Jelly" is made by carefully selecting and ripening the "Nou 6" citrus fruits, which are difficult to handle as fresh fruit, and then processing them into jelly. The jelly aims to deliver the full, rich flavor of the "Nou 6" citrus, which is said to have a taste reminiscent of a blend of mandarin orange and grapefruit, with a refreshing aftertaste.

The jelly is made by carefully selecting and ripening the "Nou 6" citrus fruits, which are difficult to handle as fresh fruit, and then processing them into jelly. The jelly aims to deliver the full, rich flavor of the "Nou 6" citrus, which is said to have a taste reminiscent of a blend of mandarin orange and grapefruit, with a refreshing aftertaste.

The jelly is made using the entire fruit, including the peel, which is typically discarded. By carefully processing the peel, which contains a lot of flavor and aroma, the jelly achieves a rich and complex taste that is difficult to replicate with juice alone. The texture is also designed to be smooth and melt-in-your-mouth, allowing consumers to fully enjoy the exquisite flavor of the "Nou 6" citrus.

This new product is the result of a collaboration between Toyosu Parlor, which is committed to delivering high-quality ingredients, and the producers of "Nou 6" citrus, who have dedicated themselves to cultivating this rare fruit. It is a product that allows consumers to experience the unique charm of a citrus fruit that has been cultivated with great care, even if it is not widely known.

The "Marugoto Kanjuu Nou 6 Jelly" is now available for purchase on the "Toyosu Market Dot Com" website. We hope you will take this opportunity to enjoy the exquisite taste of this rare citrus fruit.
