What is yuzu?
Yuzu · Japanese
A tart Japanese citrus about the size of a tangerine, prized for its perfumed zest and juice. Think lemon, grapefruit and mandarin at once.
What it tastes like
Sharp and sour like lemon but far more fragrant, with a floral, grapefruit-y edge. A little goes a long way.
Where you’ll see it
Crudo and sashimi, ponzu, vinaigrettes, cocktails and sorbets, plus anything at a modern Japanese or New American spot that wants a bright finish.
