Yuzu is an east Asian citrus fruit cultivated and grown in China, Korea, and Japan. It is similar to a grapefruit in appearance and taste, but unique in its own right. It is rarely eaten as a fruit, and mostly used as an ingredient in Japanese cuisine. The rind or outer skin and the juice are used in vinegar, soups, and a variety of drinks as well as wine and alcoholic cocktails.

Sometimes it takes as much as 10 years for the yuzu to develop and ripen, so it can be a while before you can use it. Still, it is worth it if you like the taste of sour goods.

You can make your own yuzu jam with the fruit and some sugar, and then use it to make yuzu tea. Yuzu is also used to make sweet foods such as cake and jams, and also many local Japanese snack products. I love yuzu and highly recommend it to people who want to discover a new and exciting taste!
