Fumiko Fresh Yuzu Kosho

Yuzu kosho is a traditional Japanese condiment
made from yuzu peel, chili peppers, and salt.

A small amount can add depth to simple dishes.

What stands out first is its clear, fresh aroma.

The saltiness is gentle,
allowing the fragrance of yuzu to open naturally.

There is no bitterness or harshness,
and the finish is clean.

Its bright heat adds depth
without overpowering the dish.

The yuzu and chili peppers
are grown in Kyushu, Japan.

Each yuzu peel is checked by hand,
and only the outer peel —
where the fragrance is most concentrated — is used.

After preparation,
it is quickly frozen
to preserve its color and aroma.

Even when frozen,
it remains soft enough to scoop,
so you can use only what you need.

How I Use It

It pairs well with
simple meat or fish dishes,
as well as noodles, soups,
and even mild cheeses.

Made without additives
and prepared with care,
it’s something I feel comfortable
having in my kitchen.
