A rare and especially unique citrus from Japan, the Sanbokan grapefruit is a difficult one to classify. It peels like a mandarin, has skin like a grapefruit but with a pronounced navel, and the flavor is certainly sour and bitter but also richly sweet. It’s been described as a cross between a grapefruit and a blood orange in regards to its flavor and like many citrus from Japan it has a fighting chance of being cold hardy in ground here in the Pacific Northwest.
