Salt-Preserved Ripened Japanese Mandarin Sauce “Fruity Shio Mikan” (50 g)

This refreshing, fruity, savory, and sweet sauce is a new type of seasoning made by salt-preserving ripened mikan (a small, Mandarin orange-like citrus). Miyamoto Orange Garden grows the mikan in their own terraced orchards by the seaside under abundant sunlight and caressed by ocean breezes without using chemical pesticides.

After the ripe mikan is picked, it is crushed with its rind and then salt-preserved for two weeks until it naturally turns pasty and its umami increases. The sea salt, which has a touch of sweetness, is also locally produced and perfectly complements the mikan umami.

The sauce boasts a savory kick with the pleasant sourness, sweetness, and aroma that comes from ripe mikan. It can add a gentle accent to any dish. If you substitute this for your regular salt, the taste of your dish is instantly elevated.

Enjoy its refreshing flavor with grilled fish, tempura, yakitori chicken skewers, gyoza dumplings, and pickles. Its fruity taste is also great for making desserts.
