100% Yuzu Juice Recommended by Organic Wine Specialty Stores
Although the product name is "Yuzu Vinegar," no vinegar or salt is used; it is 100% pure yuzu juice (yuzu fruit juice).
Tamiya Farm has been pesticide-free and chemical fertilizer-free for over 20 years at the foot of the famous Mt. Daisen.
Mt. Daisen, known as a famous peak in the Sanin region, is covered in forests at its foot and is also known for its clean water. Daisen Town at the foot of the mountain faces the Sea of Japan and is a windy area where the weather changes rapidly and it can rain even on sunny days. In fact, this climate is perfect for yuzu. Every farmer has a yuzu tree planted on their property. It was Tamiya Hiroshi who noticed this yuzu, which grows even if left unattended.
He started cultivating yuzu without using any pesticides or chemical fertilizers in 1996. Because the area is windy, he planted windbreaks around the area to prevent the yuzu from falling, and production has since stabilized.
Completely home grown, home made and sold
Most commercially available yuzu juice is produced by manufacturers or agricultural cooperatives. Farmers simply harvest and ship the yuzu. Therefore, it is not known who or where the yuzu that is usually produced is grown. However, Tamiya only uses yuzu harvested in his own fields, squeezes the juice himself, bottles it himself, and sells it with his own label. However, since he produces only a small amount, his main customers are local shops and roadside stations in Daisen Town.
It was about 10 years ago that I found this yuzu vinegar on display at the Hata Liquor Store, Mavi's authorized dealer in Tottori Prefecture, and bought it. You can enjoy the pure taste of yuzu, which is completely different from the bottled yuzu juice that is often found in mass retailers.
If you leave it, you will see solid pectin and oil separating out at the top of the juice, but this is what contains the aromatic components of the yuzu, so please shake well before using.
Recommended ways to use yuzu juice
First, try mixing it with water and drinking it in the morning and evening. You can choose the amount you like.
Of course, yuzu vinegar can be used as a seasoning to replace vinegar. Its mellow taste is less pungent than grain vinegar. With soy sauce, yuzu vinegar, and three-year-aged mirin, everything will taste delicious, whether it's boiled greens, hot pot, or grilled fish.
Combine with olive oil and salt for a refreshing salad dressing.
If you add it to miso, it becomes yuzu vinegar miso.
