Kinkan. Just eat the peel.
January 29, 2008 on 10:23 pm | In Humor | | Email This PostAt the same sushi shop where I acquired the famed wasabi plant, the sushi master also pulled out this interesting fruit known as “kinkan” (金柑). My dictionary says that’s a kumquat.
He told us to eat the peel.
My wife’s mom told me to place them by a box of tabacco that “dad” was smoking for “scale”. Funny how a box of tobacco becomes an item to show scale in Japan. Smoking is everywhere. Maybe that would happen in the States as well…
They’re too sour, almost like a lemon, which is why the sushi master told us to just eat the peel. It tastes nice, is healthy, and is a great way to clean your palate after eating tons of raw fish.
Is this how kumquats are usually eaten? Maybe everyone knows this stuff already except me…
Eat those peels.

We have tons of kumquat trees in San Diego, and they aren’t sour. The ones you ate must not have been ripe, or the Japanese version is different.

Yeah, dude. You gotta stick the whole darn kumquat thing in your mouth. Peel and all.
I was surprised too.
