YUZU PONZU SAUCE
 
MyFurusato’s YUZU PONZU SAUCE is created by combining two of the most unique ingredients in Japanese cuisine, adding citrus Yuzu to the traditional ponzu sauce, making a new groundbreaking Yuzu-ponzu sauce. Originally Ponzu was a blend of vinegar (zu), and ‘ponch punch’ (pon) a Dutch cocktail, a mix of distilled liquor, citrus juice, sugar, and spices. The citrus ponzu flavor was then
combined with traditional soy sauce to create ponzu sauce, a trademark household Japanese sauce.
​
First cultivated in the 10th century in Japan after importing from China, Yuzu fruit (Citrus Junos) is commonly known as the Japanese citron. Several areas in Japan produce it now though the most famous are from Kochi Prefecture on the island of Shikoku. The acidity in the citrus adds a strong yet sweet taste to the sauce which can be used as a dipping sauce, a marinade, and as a dressing for salads. Yuzu is well also known for its many health benefits such as the reduction of inflammation as well as many anti-aging properties.
