"Awajishima Naruto Orange" is a rare species endemic to Awaji Island that has remained almost in its original form since it was discovered about 300 years ago. Because it has not been bred, it is difficult to cultivate and has the disadvantage of having many scratches on the skin and seeds, but it has a unique personality and flavor that other citrus fruits do not have. The fruit has a refreshing acidity, clean sweetness, and a slight bitterness, and is full of juice. The soft skin is fragrant and perfect for processing into marmalade. In recent years, it has become difficult to obtain due to a decrease in the number of farmers, and it has come to be called a "phantom citrus fruit." However, Awaji Island is now united in promoting various activities to revive and brand it. Please get to know Awaji Island Naruto Oranges through a valuable harvesting experience and enjoy their deep flavor. Although "Naruca Farm" is small, it carefully manages its cultivation using farming methods that make use of nature. In the farm, there is an idol goat named Lulu who is in charge of weeding, and if you are lucky, you can feed her. Depending on the season, you can also enjoy picking horsetails and butterbur in the farm. *If you wish, we will introduce you to products using Awaji Island Naruto Oranges and nearby stores that sell them. ~Experience Outline~ ① Talk by the producer ② Guide to Naruka Farm ③ Awaji Island Naruto Orange Harvesting Experience ④ Awaji Island Naruto Orange Juice Squeezing Experience + Tasting Souvenir (Awaji Island Naruto Orange) ⑤ End of the tour
