Yes I have heard of it but never eaten it. I have been to Tokyo, but did not find it in shops. It is famous from Nagasaki area ?

Could you please provide more description on its taste and time of fruit maturity?
Is it the same citrus described here (https://www.tokyofoundation.org/research/detail.php?id=244)

Yes, Yuko on that site and the fruit in my photo are the same. However, I have a question about the taste. I don't think you can eat this citrus with the peel. It is said that Japan has a custom of eating citrus fruits with the skin on, but most Japanese do not eat the skin.
