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.

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.

This is not your everyday ponzu. When one thinks of the Japanese condiment, a dark, heavily soy-based sauce likely comes to mind. But true ponzu is all about the vinegar. This one is made in the Kyoto tradition and uses the sweetness of ginger to ground its vinegar acidity. The blush-colored liquid hits the palate first with the brightness of the rice vinegar, then gives way to the layered, sweet earthiness of tomato and the sour, grapefruit-like flavor of the citrus fruit known as sudachi. A mellow brine of bonito and kombu lies at the base, as well as a hint of malty soy from white shoyu (a variety of soy sauce that uses wheat as its primary ingredient).
