Juicy, flavorful and wonderfully textured Yakami Orchards Yuzu Marmalade is made with fresh, local yuzu from a collective of family farms in Japan’s Miyazaki prefecture. Balanced out with honey and sugar, this yuzu marmalade is bright, tart and warmly sweet with every bite. Just by opening a jar of Yakami Orchards’ product, you’ll be able to smell the bright and subtly floral aroma of yuzu. We love the plentiful chunks of yuzu rind, which are thinly sliced and add texture without making the marmalade clumpy. The yuzu pieces contribute a pop of piney bitterness that is a pleasant counterbalance for the overall sweet spread.

Tart, fragrant, and incredibly bright, Bachan's uses only fresh, natural ingredients in its tangy Yuzu Japanese Barbecue Sauce. Authentic Japanese shoyu—soy sauce made with wheat—provides an earthy, umami flavor base, while cane sugar and mirin add the signature complementary sweetness. It’s sweet, salty and spicy with just enough acidity to keep it from being cloying. Bachan's also layers green onion, ginger and garlic, which add aromatic complexity and ground the sauce in earthy, savory notes. In a nod to Western barbecue sauce, the secret recipe also includes tomato paste, which adds a nuanced, natural fruitiness and thickens the sauce.

Umikah’s yuzu curd has a remarkably refreshing citrus flavor, filled with tart, tangy notes and very little bitterness–something other yuzu products tend to have too much of. The juice of this Japanese citrus fruit is pungent and floral, evoking grapefruit, mandarin and lime flavors that don’t get muddied in this simple curd. Creamy and silky, but not too thick or eggy, it is excellent on pound cake, with berries, as a filling for pies, cakes and desserts, or simply on a spoon.

This small-batch Yuzu Miso is aged with yuzu zest for three months, so the semi-tart, floral notes of the Japanese citrus permeate and meld with the salty tang of miso. The final product is mellow and smooth in both taste and texture, with an initial bright burst of yuzu and a salty-sweet finish of earthy fermented soybean.

While most mayonnaise is made with vinegar, Hotaru Foods uses 100% yuzu juice as its acid of choice, which adds a bright, citrusy kick and subtle sweetness reminiscent of Kewpie mayonnaise, a Japanese favorite. We especially like to pair it with seafood, which doesn't need its usual squeeze of lemon thanks to the tart yuzu flavor.

<p>Light, grassy sencha is Japan's most popular type of green tea, and this version from Jugetsudo is especially smooth and slightly floral with the addition of aromatic yuzu, a type of Asian citrus. We like that it's fruity but not overly acidic and doesn't have the artificial, borderline soapy taste of cheaper yuzu teas. </p>

Japanese soy sauce brewer Suehiro makes its intense and citrusy Ponzu Shoyu without any added water, so this version of the classic dipping sauce is bursting with a stellar balance of salty, tangy and umami flavors. Traditionally brewed dark soy sauce provides a savory flavor base along with four types of Asian citrus—aromatic yuzu, tart sudachi, bitter orange and mild, sweet yukou—which add a complex tanginess and bright floral-fruity aroma. Mirin, a type of Japanese rice wine, as well as kombu dashi, an umami soup stock, round out the flavor and add body.

Yuzu Kosho is a Japanese condiment prepared from fermented yuzu, chilies, kombu and salt. This spicy, briny paste combines chili heat with yuzu, the best-tasting citrus fruit you’ve never heard of that is used broadly in Japanese cooking as an accent note. We like this kosho's fruity, bright red bell pepper aroma and subtle sweetness.

Aromatic yuzu peel meets tangy rice vinegar and green peppers with a hint of heat in this uniquely Japanese hot sauce. It’s crafted with yuzu from the Higashimera region of Japan’s Miyazaki Prefecture (known for yielding exceptionally fragrant fruits) and—for a touch of acidity—a rice vinegar that was carefully selected after tasting hundreds of different options. The green pepper offers a satisfying bite without being overwhelming: Think of it as a citrus-flavored Tabasco that’s a little less hot, so it’s even more versatile.
