It is the time when citrus fruits such as Hassaku, Iyokan, and Dekopon are sold together with mandarin oranges. I like Hassaku oranges the most, so I look forward to this time every year.


However, unlike mandarin oranges, the drawback is that the skin is thick and difficult to peel. Nail is an obstacle, and using a kitchen knife can be a hassle to clean up. Is it something you can't eat more easily?

Therefore, I introduced the 100-yen "Orange Peeler" this year. Not only does it look cute with a bird motif, it's also a very useful item.


The main body is divided into wings and a body, and the wings have a cutting blade for thin skin such as mandarin oranges, and the body has a cutting blade for thick leather and a peeling spatula.




Let's peel off Hassaku orange immediately. Insert your beak into the skin and lower it as it is to make a quick and easy cut.



After making a cut in the whole, turn the peeler over, insert the spatula of the tail part and peel it off to complete. Once you get used to it, you will be able to get off quite quickly.




The resin blade will not hurt you even if it hits a little, but it seems to be better to refrain from using it for children because it is sharp. Also, please note that the hard calyx part is easy to get caught.



By the way, there are similar products like this, but for fruits with thick skin, I personally thought that this item with a spatula was easier to use.


"Orange peeler" is convenient for citrus lovers to keep on the table. The price is, of course, 100 yen (excluding tax).
