Experience the Delight of 'Nijumaru' Tart at Kilfeabon

Kilfeabon Co., established in Shizuoka, is excited to announce the release of a special tart featuring Saga's renowned citrus, 'Nijumaru', available from March 4 to March 31, 2026, at all four of their stores, with sales starting in Fukuoka from March 5. This tart celebrates a brand of citrus that took over twenty years to develop in Saga Prefecture, showcasing its delicious flavors and vibrant appearance.

What is 'Nijumaru'?

'Nijumaru' is a unique citrus fruit that stands out due to its size, refreshing aroma, delightful texture, and juicy pulp. This mid-to-late season fruit is characterized by its well-balanced sweetness and moderate acidity, making it a favorite among citrus lovers. The brand debuted on February 10, 2021, a date now known as 'Nijumaru Day', after being developed from the crossbreed of 'Nishi no Ka' and 'Ota Ponkan'. Each fruit is selected based on stringent quality criteria, ensuring that only the best make it into the brand line.

The name 'Nijumaru' comes from the notion that its appearance, aroma, sweetness, juice content, and texture all deserve a 'double circle' of excellence, symbolizing the expectations and pride of Saga. The brand’s logo eloquently employs this concept with a bold design featuring the circular double mark.

The Tart Experience

The 'Nijumaru Tart' is a remarkable creation, combining a crispy tart shell filled with a fragrant hazelnut almond cream layered with refreshing orange mousse. The pièce de résistance is an artful arrangement of juicy 'Nijumaru' fruits elegantly displayed on top, along with a homemade jam crafted from the fruit's zest and juice that playfully forms a 'double circle' pattern. This tart is not only a treat for the taste buds but also a feast for the eyes.

Available in two sizes, you can enjoy a whole tart (25 cm) priced at ¥15,984 or a single piece at ¥1,598. Ideal for celebrations, gatherings, or as a special dessert, this tart offers a quintessential taste of Saga in every bite.
