Bright yet surprisingly layered, Shibanuma’s Yuzu Ponzu is one of the “deepest and most balanced” versions our testers have tried. The sauce is made by combining fresh yuzu juice and Shibanumba’s signature soy sauce, which is brewed and aged in wooden barrels. The 330-year old soy sauce producer also blends vinegar and bonito flakes (a type of dried tuna) into the mixture to strike the perfect balance between sweet, salty, tart, acidic and delightfully funky. It’s both refreshing and complex, making it the perfect dipping sauce accompaniment for tempura, dumplings, sashimi, sushi, meat, fish and vegetables. Or add it to a vinaigrette or marinade for extra umami punch.

How to use

Yuzu is tart, floral and full of possibility.

If you haven’t yet come across it, this Asian citrus brings together the fragrance of Meyer lemons, the tartness of lime, and the pithy bitterness of grapefruit. Learn more here.

HOW TO USE

Add to a vinaigrette, marinade or just use for dipping. The acidity and savoriness make it a great pairing for meat and fish, as well as heavier foods, like tempura, dumplings, sashimi or sushi. Try is as a dipping sauce with our Taiwanese Flaky Scallion Pancakes or Oven-Fried Fish Sticks.

Kitchen Notes

Refrigerate after opening.

Shibanuma Soy Sauce has produced soy sauce and Japanese seasonings for 18 generations. Founded in 1688 in Tsuchiura, Japan, their products are made from high-quality soybeans and wheat grown in their local region of Ibaraki, located in the Kanto district. Their soy sauce was selected and presented to the Edo Shogunate as one of the best soy sauces in Japan during that era, and it’s the only remaining soy sauce manufacturer in Tsuchiura today.
