This is the Akagi Gatsun to Koi Mikan, a popsicle containing 70% mikan juice and flesh.
The popsicle was rectangular in shape, measuring 7 x 4 x 1.5 cm, with a vivid orange hue and areas of deeper orange throughout.
On tasting, it bit through easily, with the softened juice component punctuated by pops of mikan flesh. The juice released an immediate burst of rich mikan flavour, capturing the fruit’s natural sweetness and mellow tartness, while the flesh heightened the freshness with added textural contrast. Together, they created a vibrant expression of mikan’s characteristic balance between sweetness and tanginess, evoking the sensation of eating a more concentrated, refreshingly chilled version of the fruit itself.
Overall, a deliciously balanced and texturally engaging popsicle with authentic mikan flavour worth repurchasing.
This Akagi Gatsun to Koi Mikan contained 90 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2025.
