Collection: Products of Ehime Prefecture

Located on the island of Shikoku, Ehime prefecture is a region renowned not only for its magnificent scenery, but also for its unique gastronomic riches. The mild climate and proximity to the sea enable Ehime to produce a wide variety of agricultural and seafood products of exceptional quality. The highlight of Ehime cuisine is undoubtedly the mikan, a variety of sweet, juicy mandarins grown in the region. These fruits, with their fresh, balanced flavors, are used in a multitude of preparations, from jams and juices to traditional desserts. Mikan is a true symbol of the prefecture, and is distinguished by its delicate taste, ideal for accompanying both sweet and savoury dishes.

Vinegar production is also a prominent feature of Ehime cuisine. Rice vinegar, often flavored with local citrus fruits, is a key ingredient for seasoning dishes. Made using traditional methods handed down from generation to generation, this vinegar enriches the flavor of dishes with a soft, subtle acidity.

Traditional techniques play an essential role in Ehime, particularly in the manufacture of products such as yuzu kosho, a piquant paste made from yuzu and chili pepper, typical of the region. This strongly flavored condiment is ideal for spicing up meat, fish and ramen dishes.
