I love marmalade. Where can I buy this?

You can try their website.

Luckily, we are able to make copious amounts of marmalade every year from our hasaku and yuzu trees. Superb fruits for marmalade.

But sorry, I have to say that most shop marmalade is too tame - often too sweet and not chunky enough.

Great article, well done ladies. My sister-in-law makes some terrific kumquat marmalade. I'd like to try a few of those, particularly the yuzu one.

Good to see they're doing something productive in their retired lives, something they enjoy. Amd marmalades are good - they can go with plain bread, biscuits, crackers, etc. BTW, I'm using American terminology here but you know what I mean. They're making others happy and they're happy doing it, and that's good.

They need a Paddington Bear like mascot.

For me marmalade is made with Seville oranges, everything else is jam.

Having said that, I bet these taste great and would love to try some (especially as I have been known to make marmalade my self) but I won’t be going to London for it nor paying the exorbitant prices Fortnum & Mason charge.

Cool article, wish them every success!

I sometimes enjoy these types of "jams" with hot water in the winter, sometimes add other things like good honey & even sometimes add some shochu when I don't need it for a cold  :)

My mouth is watering. I buy this. Getting some soon!

Absolutely. I always enjoyed those Paddington Bear books as a kid, and that recent movie about him is really good!

Where are the prices on their website?

Downvote for a legit question. Nice. I went to their website. Scrolled around forever. There is not a single mention anywhere of how much it cost. It could be ¥300 or ¥3000. How are we to know if they don't say?
