(More customer reviews)Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit, eaten during the winter, sometimes translated as "citron."It has a very unique and luxurious taste.I have one cookbook that attempts to replicate the flavor by combining grapefruit, lemon and lime juice, but it just doesn't work.
I got addicted to cooking with yuzu when I lived in Japan, as it adds a special touch to many dishes.The juice isn't used as often as the aromatic peel, but even just splashing some of grilled fish adds a really nice layer.
The fruit is ubiquitous and cheap in Japan, costing no more than lemons and considerably less than limes.There are some growers in California, but the fruit is still too obscure to show up even at specialty grocery stores.Because of that, even this small bottle of juice is going to cost quite a bit of cash.I have seen it sell for somewhat cheaper at local Asian specialty stores, but if this is your only access to the product at least it is available!
You can get the yuzu flavor in the peppery pesto-like Yuzu Kosho, which is a must in my kitchen.The yuzu flavored soy-sauce ponzu is also available for less than the pure juice. (Although check the label. Sometimes ponzu is flavored with another Japanese fruit, sudachi, rather than yuzu.)
But be careful.Once you go yuzu, you won't be going back.

Yuzu Juice - 5.06 OzProduct Description: Yuzu is a sour Japanese citrus fruit, used both for its juice and its aromatic rind. The yuzu (which is about the size of a tangerine) has an aroma and flavor that is distinct from any other citrus fruit, somewhat akin to a cross between grapefruit and lime.Traditionalists will insist that many Japanese dishes are not authentic without this rare and hard to find juice!
