Choshuya Mitsukuni Seika Hompo

This venerable Japanese confectionery was founded at the end of the Edo period. They have long been the home of treats made from Hagi's local specialty, natsumikan summer citrus fruits. Natsumikan Maruzuke is a traditional, hand-made Hagi treat made from a whole candied natsumikan summer citrus with the insides scooped out, then filled with melted yokan bean jelly. Each one is carefully made according to the traditional method. The syrup used to candy the peel has been used and replenished constantly from 1916 for a truly legendary flavor. It's perfect not only with tea, but western spirits as well. They also offer popular treats like Hagi no Kaori candied shredded natsumikan peel, or Natsumikan Marmalade made with zero artificial flavors.
