The classic citrus is yuzu (柚子), the fragrant, tart Japanese citron, and katsuobushi (smoked bonito) supplies the dashi. This one uses fresh yuzu grown in Ibaraki, the same prefecture where Shibanuma Shoyu (柴沼醤油醸造) has brewed soy since 1688, eighteen generations of the same family, still fermenting in wooden barrels built in the Edo era. The soy underneath the citrus is the difference between a sharp ponzu and a deep one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 22px; font-size: 0.9rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearn more:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/japanese-recipes\/35805825-how-to-make-japanese-inspired-sweet-potato-fries-with-ponzu-aioli\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSweet Potato Fries with Ponzu Aioli\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; font-size: 1rem; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eWhat does yuzu ponzu taste like?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 22px; font-size: 0.95rem;\"\u003eBright and tart up front from the yuzu, with a floral, almost grapefruit-like citrus aroma, then a savoury, slightly smoky depth from the soy and bonito dashi underneath. It is salty, sweet and sour at once, but balanced rather than sharp, so it lifts a dish without souring it. The yuzu fragrance is the signature, distinct from a plain lemon or lime, and it is what makes ponzu cut through rich and fatty foods so well.

It is the classic dip for shabu-shabu, sashimi, tataki and gyoza, and it is splashed over grilled meats and fish, chilled tofu, salads and steamed vegetables. Its bright acidity cuts through rich and fatty foods, which is why it pairs so well with beef and oily fish. Beyond Japanese cooking it works anywhere you want a citrus-and-umami lift, over oysters, roast vegetables, or whisked into a dressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 12px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 0.9rem; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eWhat is yuzu?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"padding: 12px; font-size: 0.85rem; margin: 0;\"\u003eYuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit, tart and highly aromatic, with a fragrance somewhere between lemon, lime and grapefruit. It is rarely eaten as fruit; its value is in the juice and zest, which carry a distinctive floral perfume prized in Japanese cooking. In ponzu it provides the sour element and the signature aroma. The yuzu in this ponzu is grown in Ibaraki, the same prefecture as the soy house behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 40px; border: 1px solid rgba(127,127,127,0.35); border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"padding: 12px; font-weight: 600; font-size: 0.9rem; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eHow should I store ponzu after opening?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp style=\"padding: 12px; font-size: 0.85rem; margin: 0;\"\u003eKeep it refrigerated once opened to preserve the fresh yuzu aroma, which fades faster than the soy base. Reseal tightly and keep it out of direct light and heat. Give it a gentle shake before use if it has settled. Used steadily as a dip and dressing, a 300ml bottle stays bright and fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Shibanuma","offers":[{"title":"Single","offer_id":56395332911485,"sku":"S0308","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Case of 6","offer_id":56395332944253,"sku":"S0308-CS6","price":41.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/5621\/files\/Sushi_Sushi_Product_Shots_Sept_24_16235.jpg?v=1728759549","url":"https:\/\/www.sushisushi.co.uk\/products\/shibanuma-classic-yuzu-ponzu-300ml","provider":"SushiSushi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
