Yuzu Kosho can raise heat, acidity, and umami to restaurant levels. This wonderful condiment comes from the mountainsides of Miyazaki Prefecture, where Kagura No Sato grows its own organic yuzu and chili peppers.
Yuzu kosho has a well-rounded flavor profile. The cutting citrus notes are offset with a bold kick from chile peppers. A little bit of sea salt harmonizes the two ingredients and is also the key ingredient in the fermentation process.
One thing that sets Kagura No Sato’s Premium Organic Yuzu Kosho apart is that they painstakingly remove only the yuzu's skin, leaving behind any bitter pith. Further, while other companies grind the yuzu skin, Kagura No Sato slices the skin to retain more of the fragrant yuzu oils.
The resulting condiment has a nice texture from the sliced yuzu skin, a bright yuzu citrus aroma, mild heat, and a pleasant saltiness with only a slight bitterness to balance.
Use this in any dish whenever you want to enliven a dish with punchy citrus and heat, especially broths, dressings, stir-fries, marinades, or alongside grilled meats. A dollop goes a long way.
