Yuzu (Japanese citrus)
Yuzu is a Japense citrus fruit. The flavour is tart, closely resembling that of the grapefruit, with overtones of mandarin orange, although it is rarely eaten as a fruit. Its aromatic rind is used in Noto cuisine to garnish many dishes, and its juice is commonly used as a seasoning in the same way that lemon is used in other cuisines.
We make several different products from yuzu:
– honey combined with yuzu rind to make yuzu honey
– yuzu marmalade jam
– yuzu pepper
– yuzu namba, a spicy sauce made from yuzu rind, green or red chili peppers and salt.
