In 1820, a hyuganatsu orange tree was discovered as a chance seedling on the premise of Mr. Yasutaro Magata’s residence. After this it became widely cultivated. The hyuganatsu orange is considered to be a mutation of the yuzu orange and the taste is more acidic similar to a grapefruit or lemon. It is eaten with sugar or honey after removing its yellow peel and cutting into pieces. You can eat its white pithy flesh, no need to remove it. Today, Miyazaki is producing the most hyuganatsu oranges in Japan.
