February Birth Fruits
February is when winter fruit concentrates its flavor. Each of the 29 days carries its own birth fruit: Iyokan, Setoka, Navel orange, Amaou and more. February 14 belongs to the Blood orange, whose fruit words are "fiery color" and "depth".
Our birth fruits are compiled independently by one rule: prefer the fruit whose peak season includes your date. Citrus leads, bridged toward spring by strawberries and grapefruit.
Setsubun and Valentine's messages both welcome a line of fruit words. Start from your date and meet the fruit of your day.

Fruits of February
February is when citrus tastes its deepest. Iyokan softens until the flesh can be eaten with a spoon, and Setoka melts like the king of citrus it is called. Navel orange, the classic winter import, suits after-dinner plates.
Amaou, the queen of strawberries, sweetens toward February and March. Grapefruit stays at its best through the winter, and on February 14 the birth fruit is the Blood orange, its flesh flushed red.
Ways to enjoy February birth fruits
- Pick by fruit words: the Blood orange's "fiery color" writes its own Valentine message.
- Taste the season: whole-Iyokan jelly and Amaou shortcake — winter fruit lives on sweetness.
- Pair with the color: set fruit reds and oranges beside the day's birthday color for new discoveries.
- Cards and gifts: a Setsubun-season fruit story makes a warm seasonal greeting.
