Tentang bahan ini
Fermented paste of yuzu zest, chili pepper (typically Takanotsume green or red), and salt — a signature condiment of Kyushu, especially Oita Prefecture. Production is concentrated in Hita and Yufu in Oita, with Fukuoka and Kumamoto also producing notable volume. The paste is fermented 1-3 months and traditionally used with grilled meat, hot pot, and sashimi. Increasingly featured in Western fine-dining as a Japanese citrus-heat condiment with the green-yuzu version commanding premium pricing.
