Kuganii
2024.08.29
 One of Okinawa's citrus fruits called kugani, it is about the same size as or slightly larger than the shiksa, and when fully ripe, it is sweet and delicious. It is harvested from December to January. Ogimi kugani and Katsuyama kugani are the most famous.
 There are many strains of kunibu or kunibungi (kunibungi in Okinawan dialect is thought to come from a nine-year tree) citrus fruits, and it is said that there are several strains including Ishikunibu, Hijakunibu, Kaachii, and Kaavisii in addition to the representative seekers, and kugani is an improved version of them. The kugani is called kugani (meaning “golden” in Okinawan dialect) because of the golden color of its rind when ripe.
 The sweet and tasty kugani has been popular since long ago, and folk tales tell of the origin of its name, such as the “golden kitten” in Yonabaru and the “kugani tree” in Kinmu Town.
