What is Shikuwasa?

Often called:

“The citrus of the land of longevity”

and known as Okinawa’s all-purpose lemon 

Why it’s special:

A local Okinawan citrus fruit

Tastes like a mix of lemon + lime

High in acidity with a strong, refreshing aroma

Rich in Vitamin C

Contains a natural compound called Nobiletin

It looks a bit like a lime, but the flavor is cleaner, brighter, and more aromatic.
