Common card · No. 238949

Dekopon (デコポン) is a seedless variety of satsuma orange, known for its distinctive sweet taste, large size, and large protruding bump on the top. It is a hybrid between Kiyomi and ponkan (Nakano no. 3), developed in Japan in 1972. Originally a brand name, "Dekopon" has become a genericized trademark and is used to refer to all brands of the fruit. The generic name is shiranuhi or shiranui (不知火). In South Korea, dekopon is called hallabong (한라봉). In the US, the dekopon was released as a commercial product under the name "Sumo Citrus". In Brazil, dekopon is marketed under the brand name Kinsei.
