Miyazaki / Irwin / Taiyo no Tamago (Egg of the Sun)

Miyazaki / Irwin / Taiyo no Tamago (Egg of the Sun) originated from a seedling of Lipens (likely to have crossed with Haden) in Florida, USA, as Irwin, but gained popularity in japan under the name: Miyazaki / Egg of the Sun mango variety. The mango tastes moderately sweet (TSS: up to 19 brix) and has a tropical aroma. The flavour profile is classic (the classic flavour profile is very tropical in nature and is found in most of the Florida grown mango varieties). Its average weight is 300 grams. It is harvested during mid-season (ripens in the first week of June in West Bengal, India). The trees are moderately vigorous with dense canopies (any mango tree in the world can be maintained at a low height if pruned on a regular basis). Miyazaki is best suited for table consumption. It can be adopted for commercial farming, terrace gardens / kitchen gardens / rooftop gardens. Though Miyazaki is making rounds in social media and news papers, each and every pair of Miyazaki is not sold at a whopping price tag of INR 2,70,000/- Following its harvest season in Japan, the best pairs (not all mangoes) of perfectly ripened and colored (like a "Taiyo no Tamago" or "Egg of the Sun") Miyazaki are auctioned at a very high price. Most of the Japanese buy them to gift the mangoes to their near and dear ones / official purpose. Exposed to the complex and sweet taste profiles of Indian mangoes, the Indians have developed a craving for adequately sweet yet complex flavoured mangoes which Miyazaki can not satiate. So, one - all Miyazaki mangoes are not sold at very high price in Japan and two - Miyazaki can not fetch very high price in India as it does not matches with the Indian palate for mangoes. So be cautious while making a commercial farm of Miyazaki mangoes. Having said this, Miyazaki mango variety is collection worthy for mango lovers, given its attractive colour profile.
