They are in season during the winter from January to March.
Kinkan are small orange-like fruits that are usually eaten whole without peeling.

"Kinkan / Fortunella" (2017, par Katsuji Wakisaka)
Le Kinkan, appelé Kumquat ou Fortunella, est cultivé dans les jardins des gîtes
et reste un fruit très apprécié des japonais.
Petit fruit orange dont la peau est comestible, il est de saison de Janvier à Mars.
Quand j'étais petit, il m'est arrivé d'attraper froid et d'avoir mal a la gorge.
On me faisait alors manger des Kumquats confits, dont la douceur suave,
l'amertume et l'acidité apaisaient mes douleurs à la gorge.
