Japanese botanical lifestyle brand MARKS&WEB will release its limited edition "Yuzu/Iyokan" collection on January 29, 2026. The series blends refreshing and slightly bitter yuzu essential oil with sweet and fresh iyokan (Japanese citrus) essential oil, offering body and hand care items perfect for gifts.
Fresh Fragrance Born from a Unique Production Method
The natural essential oils used in the "Yuzu/Iyokan" series are produced at "Sanjin Fruit and Herb Garden" in Sanagochi Village, Myodo District, Tokushima Prefecture. Nestled on the mid-slope of terraced fields in a rural mountain area, this farm cultivates Japanese citrus fruits and conducts research on their beneficial properties, while also manufacturing essential oils, beverages, foods, and alcoholic products.
For essential oil extraction, they use a customized machine called "Pelatrice" that carefully scrapes only the outer layer of the fruit peel with metal claws, crushing the oil glands on the surface to extract the oil. This rare domestic method is called the "whole peel shaving® method." By utilizing the entire fruit peel, this process allows you to enjoy the fresh and pure fragrance unique to Japanese citrus fruits.
