I'll teach you about this village called Kamiakizu and Mikans, which are what various types ofcitrus fruits are called in Japanese, and are the local specialties of this town.Firstof all, do you know what kind of citrus fruit Karatachi is? Karatachi,with white small flowers and sharp thorny prickles, is a tree used as a rootstock forgrafting Mikans.It is a very important tree for cultivating Mikans, I’ll explain why later on. Well,our time is short, but let me guide you through this Karatachi classroom.
