April Birth Fruits
April lines up the citrus of spring. Each of the 30 days carries its own birth fruit: Hassaku, Hyuganatsu, Cherimoya, Kawachi bankan and more. April 1 belongs to Hassaku, whose fruit words are "freshness" and "promise".
Our birth fruits are compiled independently by one rule: prefer the fruit whose peak season includes your date. Spring citrus joins house melons, stored apples and the season's in-between fruits.
School and work entries season: a fruit word makes a gentle note for gifts that say "welcome to your new start".

Fruits of April
April belongs to spring citrus. Hassaku's refreshing bitterness suits the spring air; Hyuganatsu, born in Miyazaki, is eaten with its white pith like a lace collar. Kawachi bankan ships from Uwajima as the spring orange "Jogan".
Cherimoya, called "ice-sweet", peaks from March into April. House melons begin to appear, while stored apples and lemons keep a trace of winter on the shelf.
Ways to enjoy April birth fruits
- Pick by fruit words: Hassaku's "promise" is made for school-entry and new-job gifts.
- Taste the season: Hyuganatsu with its white pith, chilled cherimoya — spring fruit is best kept light.
- Pair with the color: set spring pastels beside citrus orange and yellow.
- Cards and gifts: one fruit word added to a new-life message goes a long way.
