Miyagawa Satsuma

The Miyagawa satsuma is an early-maturing Japanese satsuma cultivar that produces seedless, thin-skinned fruit. It is widely grown in Japan and exported to markets around the world.

This cultivar ripens several weeks before the standard Owari satsuma variety. This makes it one of the very first fresh mandarins available in the global citrus market each season.

Yes, the fruit has a characteristic thin, leathery skin that is very loosely attached to the segments. This makes it famously easy to peel with bare hands.

It has a tender, juicy texture with a mild, sweet flavor and very low acidity. The seedless nature of the fruit makes it ideal for fresh eating and children's snacks.
