Finally got hold of this & savour the seasonal goodness. If you hear lemon or orange peel, you'd probablly imagine (or instantly assume) those tiny chopped fruits bits in ... yeah as you pictute it: the infamous holiday gift, a.k.a fruits cake. Or, bitter-sweet fruit bits that nobody care much, or even wanna forget about. My condolence, this goodie is absolutely none of those. It's thinly sliced(referred as "yuzu-somen"), soaked in syrup first to retain the natural yuzu flavor, then made into candied peel. The peel has a light refreshing yuzu flavor, mildly sweet with no citrusy aftertaste or bitterness at all. For those who loves snacking the dried lemon or orange slices from Trader Joe, this one is definitely for you. Over there in 🇯🇵, seems it's available all year around but here in Hawaii, only for "winter", available for an extreme short period of time. I was little too late to shop this, the Ala Moana store already pulled it off, had to go to Neiman Marcus but I must say it was worth it. Unless I get to travel to 🇯🇵, I gotta wait for the next season for this✌🏽
