Sumo / Dekopan


A long time favorite in Japan this seedless mandarin/orange hybrid just hit the Californian market for the first time a few days ago. About the size of a softball this deliciously sweet, easy to peel sumo has a perfect balance of sweet/tart flavor and a juicy melting flesh. found at Zion market Irvine Ca. photo by Chris Mathews

  2. I bought a box at Mitsuwa market in Torrance for the same price and they can also be found at Bristol Farms. This is a really wonderful fruit. A great addition to California's citrus varieties!
