Explore the World of Japanese Citruses
The complex flavors and world of Japanese citruses - KANKITSU - are yet to be discovered by many! Our mission is to bring deep and scrumptious kankitsu flavors to you, and enliven the community of farmers and manufacturers thriving to uphold the beautiful food tradition in the countryside of Japan.
Dry Candied Citrus Peels
Made from citruses harvested in Ehime Prefecture, Japan. Rinds of KANKITSU are delicately peeled, and candied using traditional methods to enjoy the harmony of sweet and tart. The peels are well-coated with beet sugar and dried completely — in results, the candied peels are not sticky and the sugar does not fall off.
100% Pure Citrus Extracts
Extracts of citruses harvested in the southern prefectures of Japan. KANKITSU are finely pressed from the sides to simulate hand squeezing to control the amount of oil and to keep consistent purity. The extract brings you the true flavors of citruses available in Japan, perfect addition to elevate your culinary experience.
Organic Citrus Spreads
Organically grown KANKITSU are paired with its unique partners to wow your pallet! These organic citrus spreads are great to pair with cheese, ice cream, cocktails, and more! Flavor lineup includes Yuzu & Grape (no sugar added), Amanatsu & Lemon, and Sudachi & Blend.
With KANKITSU LABO's authentic Japanese citrus lineups, it lets me provide delicious flavors and smells of the citruses only available in Japan. I have used frozen peels and extracts that are not as pure as KANKITSU LABO's, which I was unsatisfied with. I am happy that I've found the right match with my Shio Ramen and Miso Salmon.
Like most people these days, I’ve been seeing the Yuzu trend featured in tons of dishes, desserts, and cocktails. I wasn’t sure what the fuss was about until I tried KANKITSU LABO’s Yuzu and an assortment of their other citrus dried and lightly candied peels. Yum! Whether you’re eating them on their own or adding the peels to yogurt, ice cream, or even salads, the combo of sweet, bitter and tart is a perfect balanced bite. I get what the fuss is about. I hope this “trend” is here to stay. So tasty.
For a burst of yuzu flavor, the Dried Candied Yuzu Peels are a must have for baking, garnishing and enjoying straight out of the bag! They have the same floral citrusy flavor that you'd find in the real fruit so if you've ever been curious about yuzu, these are a great product to try!

Such an amazing flavor. I use this sometimes in recipes instead of lemon. I add it to fizzy water for a refreshing afternoon drink.
A sweet and dynamic citrus bite reminiscent of a classic Lemonhead flavor! Great on their own, baked into treats, on top of ice cream, and more!

The flavors are simply perfect. It was such a pleasure to discover these products.
Would definitely recommend - all of the flavors are great
Randomly bought it at a local boutique grocery store and immediately ordered more online. I ate 5 packs in 3 days... Might need to buy more soon...
What I like about them:
- not sticky, easy to eat
- not too sweet either - very fragrant
- you can really taste the flavor differences in each pack. It's fun to try them all
This sudachi extract is excellent for making refreshing drinks. Kankitsu labo also provides excellent customer service - I highly recommend the product and the people behind it.
Hi. We have NOT received our package! We love your product, and we are totally out. We ordered on December 20,2024. Please advise. Thank you.
My daughter received the gift and is very excited. Hasn't had a chance to use it yet though.
The peels are so flavorful without bitterness.
A lovely , healthy snack with nuts.
Intended to use the citrus peels for mixed drinks and old fashioneds. I am, instead, enjoying them out of the package! Delicious! Will be gifting the variety pack this holiday season.
This collection of dried citrus peel is so good. Each bag is flavorful and gives just the right amount of satisfaction. I have a little handful for dessert, or occasionally a midday snack. Perfect combination of tangy and sweet.
