Setouchi Lemon (瀬戸内レモン, Setouchi Remon) is a prized variety of lemon grown in the Setouchi region of Japan, which encompasses several coastal areas along the Seto Inland Sea, including parts of Hiroshima, Ehime, and Kagawa Prefectures.
This area is known for its mild climate, clean air, and abundant sunshine—ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality citrus.
Setouchi Lemons are less tart and acidic than typical lemons. They strike a beautiful balance between sweet and sour, making them ideal for a variety of dishes and drinks.
The rind is highly aromatic and often used in cooking, baking, or zesting. It has floral and almost herbaceous undertones.
These lemons tend to be extra juicy and flavorful, making them popular in beverages like lemonade, cocktails, or infused waters.
