Is kiyomi worth growing for fruit?

its a parent for many famous Japanese cultivars but how's its fruit and hardiness qualities on their own?

Yes, Kiyomi is a good one to grow. Data says "It is reported to be cold
hardy, like a Satsuma."

I have many branches of Kiyomi grafted, it has large fruits about the size of a navel orange but flatter. Has seeds, but taste is good, not very sweet, just average sweet.

Tree/branches are vigorous, many dark green thinner leaves than most mandarins.

Thank you! How would you compare it to a sumo / shiranui?
I like my citrus to be flavorfully sweet n tart

It has more juice than sumo. Not that much tartness, average sweetness.
