Japanese Grapefruit, Kawachi Bankan

A friend of mine gave me a big “Kawachi bankan”.

Kawachi bankan is a fruit called Citrus grandis or Citrus maxima which is very similar to grapefruits and oranges.

 

It is bigger than most of the oranges. It smells very nice.

It has a strong smell which is very similar to grapefruits,

so I enjoyed it as almost like an aroma display for 10days!!!

 

The taste is sweet.

 

They make these in a few prefectures such as Ainan town in Ehime Prefecture

and Amakusa City in Kumamoto Prefecture.
