Mikan Picking

Autum's class went Mikan Picking today she had a blast. We paid 150 yen for her to get a bag of Mikans well worth it:) “Mikan” is the Japanese word for mandarin orange. It is also commonly called a “satsuma”.
Citrus unshiu is a seedless and easy-peeling citrus mutant of Chinese origin. In Japan, it is known as unshu mikan (Japanese: 温州蜜柑, unshū mikan). The Japanese name is a result of the local reading of the same characters used in the Chinese, the name meaning "Honey Citrus of Wenzhou" in both languages. It is also often known as "Seedless mandarin or as a satsuma.
Its fruit is sweet and usually seedless, about the size of other mandarin oranges smaller than an orange

Some of the Mikans she got.

Lots and Lots of Mikans
