Ponkan Orange
Report
I will think what on earth a ponkan orange is. Anyway various
citrus fruits are in a southern country. I who seldom eat do not
know which is which. I am likely to forget, if a note is not made
even if it eats once. Although written as a specialty of Kochi this
time, it is said that Kagoshima is quantity-of-production No.1 of
Japan in practice.

A ponkan orange is small in it being unexpected. It is a size like
a small mandarin orange. It is not a steamed-filled-dumplings type
like a mandarin orange, and has a tall round form for a while. It
is such touch out of which the head has come for a while like
DEKOPON. Although there was no smell outside, if the skin is
stripped off, there will be the scent of a southern country.
When it eats, it is a taste also similar to an orange. It is sweet
and easy to eat. It ate lightly and disappeared immediately. It
seemed to be in inside about a cave, if it sees from outside. But,
the fruit is choked up closely in practice.
I regard a "Tankan" orange as having been such a taste.

Japanese : Ponkan
