Contains jam, syrup, and syrup-soaked Onshu mandarins with high sugar content

This is a product that can only be enjoyed during this season, when the store shelves have switched over to mandarin oranges and other winter fruits.

According to Seijo Ishii, honeybee oranges are a type of Onshu mandarin with high sugar content. The name "honeybee mikan" comes from the fact that many honeybees are attracted to the oranges when they are in bloom. The oranges are exposed to plenty of sunshine in Miyazaki Prefecture, which gives them an average high sugar content, sweetness, and a deep, melting flavor.

These oranges are made into "mikan jam," "mikan syrup," and "mikan in syrup" to make the cake. Homemade mikan jam contains only mikan juice. Lemon juice is added to bring out the sweetness of the mandarin oranges.

The dough is filled with mikan syrup, and mikan jam is spread on top of it. The aroma of mandarin oranges will fill your mouth with delight.
