酢橘 (酢橘)

Tokushima monopolises sudachi cultivation; long-standing matsutake dashi pairing anchors fine-dining export demand.
Citric acid 6-9%; aromatic peel terpenes high; classical pairing matsutake-sudachi.
Matsutake dashi, ponzu, fine-dining citrus garnish, peel-oil cosmetic and fragrance.
Small green sour citrus (Citrus sudachi) produced in Tokushima Prefecture (>95% of national volume). Distinguished from kabosu and yuzu by its small size (~30g), sharper acidity, and intensely aromatic peel. Used in matsutake mushroom dashi (its classical pairing), Japanese udon and soba, ponzu sauces, and as a fine-dining garnish over sashimi. The peel oil is increasingly used in cosmetic and fragrance applications. A Tokushima Prefecture protected regional brand.
