Just before I saw Olivia’s post about banpeiyu, I saw something on one of NHK’s national news programs about the fruit. It seems that it has been certified in the Guinness World Book Record as the heaviest type of pomelo in the world. I also learned that over 90% of the banpeiyu consumed in Japan are grown in Kumamoto.
