The iyokan (伊予柑), also known as anadomikan (穴門みかん), is a Japanese citrus fruit. It is the second most widely produced citrus fruit in Japan after the unshū mikan. It was discovered in the Meiji era in Yamaguchi Prefecture. It is now produced mostly in Ehime Prefecture.
The peel is thicker than a mikan, but it can be peeled by hand. The flesh is slightly bitter, but sweeter than a grapefruit.
