Celebrate the Flavor of Okinawa's Keets Mango!
Okinawa Prefecture is known for its rich agricultural produce, and among its prized offerings is the
Keets Mango. To commemorate a special segment on TFM's radio program "JA Town Marukajiri" aired on August 22, 2023, JA Town's online store "Okinawa Chura Island" is excited to announce a limited-time promotion.
Special Price Launch
From August 22 to August 31, 2023, get your hands on the luscious
Okinawa Keets Mango for
4,500 yen (including tax), a delightful discount of
500 yen from the usual price of
5,000 yen. The radio show features hosts,
Sarina Shio (formerly of Hinatazaka46) and
Katsuki Mogi (of Grungi Toyama Daisuke), who sampled the mango and shared its exquisite taste and texture with the audience, making this announcement even more special.
The Keets Mango is renowned for its
large size, creamy texture, and rich sweetness. When perfectly ripe, it releases an intoxicating aroma and provides a melt-in-your-mouth experience. Due to its limited harvest window and the small number of farmers cultivating it, this mango is considered a rare gem even within Okinawa.

How to Enjoy Keets Mango
To get the most out of your
Keets Mango, proper ripening is essential. Freshly harvested, these mangoes appear dusted with a white powder (known as the bloom) and are not immediately sweet. The mango requires
10 days to 2 weeks of ripening at room temperature, ideally at 20°C or warmer, away from direct sunlight.
Once ripe, transfer the mango to the refrigerator for
3 to 5 hours to enhance its flavor before serving.
Signs of Ripeness
When perfectly ripened, the bloom on the surface lessens, and the skin becomes softer. The flesh turns a yellowish hue and emits a delightful sweet fragrance, signaling it's ready to be enjoyed.
