Shonan Gold is an original citrus fruit that Kanagawa Prefecture has grown over 12 years. The skin is yellow like lemon, but it seems to be an orange with a gap that it is sweet when eaten.
This year, we were hit by heavy snow before the Shonan Gold harvest, so many “non-standard” fruits were burnt. It is said that the beer "Shonan Gold" to be released this time was made using those fruits.
The release date, April 14, is "Orange Day". It is said that it is a day to confirm the bond with loved ones, named after orange, which is a symbol of "prosperity" and "prolificity" in order to bear a lot of fruits.
