yuzu
Fragrant Asian citrus
Yuzu is a citrus fruit from East Asia with a distinctive tart, floral flavor somewhere between lemon, grapefruit, and mandarin.
The aromatic zest and juice appear in Japanese cuisine—ponzu sauce, desserts, beverages—and increasingly in Western cooking and cocktails: The chef finished the dish with a yuzu vinaigrette.
