While taking on the challenge of cultivating fully ripe mandarin oranges, they meticulously hand-peel and strain the oranges during processing, and carefully extract the pulp. One of their flagship products, mandarin orange ponzu "Mikapon," is made by combining 100% mandarin orange juice with citrus fruit juices such as yuzu, tangerine, and kumquat, and then gently finishing it with soy sauce from Shodo Island and local vinegar. It is free from animal-derived ingredients and can be widely used as a sauce for salads, carpaccio, grilled meat, dumplings, and takoyaki. The company's headquarters also houses a directly managed store where customers can enjoy shopping while receiving advice from staff and sampling the products.
