The Muchachaen Lemon Straight Juice 150ml Set of 3 is made by directly bottling citrus fruits grown within the Muchachaen Group, pressed and bottled as straight juice.
Lemon, a representative citrus fruit enjoyed for its aroma and acidity, is perfect for dressings, baking, and various other uses due to its crisp aroma and tartness. It can be used for a wide range of applications.
- During cultivation, only lemons grown without the use of herbicides or chemical fertilizers are used.- Sediments and floating particles are components of the fruit juice; please shake well before use.- No preservatives or artificial coloring agents are used.
Ingredients: Lemon juice (from Ehime Prefecture)
The origin of lemons is said to be the foothills of the Himalayas in India. They are a representative variety of sour citrus and are cultivated worldwide. In Japan, they were introduced from America during the Meiji era and have been mainly cultivated in the Seto Inland Sea region.
At Muchachaen, we have recently been engaging seriously in lemon cultivation. However, a challenge is that lemons are sensitive to cold. Especially during severe winter cold waves, the trees shed their leaves and weaken, taking many years to recover. Additionally, lemon branches have sharp thorns, and strong winds can damage the fruit and leaves, leading to disease. We are increasing the number of trees planted to develop processed products, but we are still struggling with weather conditions.
The shipping period is from October to the following spring, but juice extraction is carefully performed mainly from January to March when the juice naturally accumulates.
About Muchachaen
- Building a relationship between agriculture and people starting with mandarins
In 1974, when the nationwide production of Wenshu mandarins peaked and began to become oversupplied, successors of mandarin farmers who doubted the heavy use of pesticides and chemical substances in citrus cultivation borrowed 15 ares of Iyokan orange orchards to start an experimental farm without pesticides, marking the beginning of Muchachaen.
The start of Muchachaen was “growing mandarins without relying on pesticides or chemical fertilizers,” which remains the fundamental principle today.
Currently, the cultivation area with cooperating farmers in Mihama Town exceeds 100 hectares. We are promoting organic farming and working on regional development that leverages mountains and the sea. Additionally, by expanding organic farming on a large scale, we aim to build a new agricultural system where young people can live rooted in the community.
- Making the most of favorable terrain and maintaining natural conditions
Mihama Town, located at the southern tip of Uwajima Bay in Ehime Prefecture, enjoys a warm climate. Passing through the Nokufuku Tunnel at the entrance, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Uwajima Bay, the village, and steep mandarin orchards.
The terraced fields made of limestone shine white under the sun, illuminating the surrounding trees. The soil has good drainage and is rich in minerals carried by the sea breeze, creating ideal natural conditions for delicious mandarins.
Under this natural environment, following a cultivation policy that is “gentle on both people and nature,” more than 80 farmers are currently growing mandarins at Muchachaen. Since citrus fruits bear only once a year, even if pesticides are used, efforts are made to minimize their use throughout the year.
Muchachaen’s cultivation policy:
- No use of herbicides or chemical fertilizers.- Starting with zero pesticides, and minimizing the number of applications as much as possible.- When pests or diseases occur, first respond with natural, organic-approved pesticides (※1).- If abnormal outbreaks cannot be controlled, only then use pesticides outside organic standards minimally (※2).
(※1) Pesticides permitted for use in organic cultivation according to Japan Agricultural Standards (JAS).
(※2) In typical Ehime citrus cultivation, the guideline is about 18 applications.
