It’s not what you’re thinking, Jo Bryant 🙂
Peels like a mandarin…
Tastes like a mandarin…no, orange…no, mandarin
No seeds!
Sumo mandarins, known as dekopon in Japan, have come to our local grocer from a Queensland grower
Yummmm!
Delicious Sumos

Oooh they haven’t reached our distant shores yet, I’m always keen to try a new fruit variety!
They are quite delicious, Gilly.
Oh…I’ll have two of the last photo please. 🙂
Hehe
They look yummy – never tried them! Great title – I’m sure you’ll get a few extra hits with that – hahaha 🙂
Haha 🙂 They’re grown in your part of the country, Gabe. Lovely flavour and no seeds.
Yummy . . . hard to beat a good Sumo!
I’m sold, Nancy. I’ll be buying them instead of oranges and mandarins from now on.
I’ve heard Japan also has square watermelons. Apparently they stack better.
As bizarre as it sounds, that’s apparently entirely true, TGG. Smart, those Japanese.
Mouthwatering!
Yes, one helluva delicious naartjie by any name 🙂
We still call them that, even after all these years 🙂
Oooooh, Yum, BB. So are sumos bigger than regular mandarins? I can’t quite get the scale (don’t drink enough champagne:-) )
Yes, they are, Kate. And the fruit has a firmer texture.
I can’t believe you read my mind…hehehehehe

Hehe xxx
Yum! That looks so so good. I love that it has no seeds. Those are my least favorite part. Great photos!
Thanks, Angelia – yes, no seeds – marvellous 😀
look so delicious, juicy and tempting …. love how there is always something new, life is like that!
It is, Christine 🙂
I’ll need to try them. The skin looks well worn. Love the name…
They are yum – you can probably get them down your way at the fish market
Haven’t yet seen these here. I bet I would love them as I love citrus. Gorgeous photo shots.
They are delicious – not as tart as oranges but lovely and sweet
Love the shape – so … you know … sumo – and the color! You can taste it!
Haha – you’re right – ‘sumo’ does describe their shape rather well, Monica. They’re called dekopon in Japan but I’m not sure what it means.
very interesting look!
Lovely taste 🙂
Delicioso! 😉
I went to the grocer today but there were none 😦
