Kabuchi or kapuchi, is a variety of small Japanese mandarin native and endemic to the islands of Kikaishima and Amami ( Kagoshima Prefecture ) north of Okinawa.
 
We harvest and extract our Kapuchi essential oil in early october when the fruit are green to coincide with Kabuchi Day in Motobu. The scent of Kapuchi has some similarities with our Shikuwasa essential oil but it stands strong as being richer more refreshing and has been described as promoting a sense of stilness.
 
Fruit available Septeber to October.
