Yuzu Pepper Paste (Yuzu Kosho), 1.76 oz

Excellent salty citrus condiment - if the chili kick had been a bit more pronounced, I’d have given it five stars!

East meets West

When Cristobal Columbus' voyaged to the New World (Mexico, Central and South America) and brought chile peppers East to the Old World, cuisine started heating up on the Scoville scale. In a culinary explosion, many different chile peppers were rapidly incorporated into European, African, and especially Asian cuisines. Although their cuisine doesn't rely heavily on chiles, as many neighboring countries do, the Japanese have a genius for pairing seemingly odd flavors to great result. This Yuzu-chile paste can be transformative when added to grilled fish, ceviche, red meats, salad dressings, and seafood dishes. I really enjoy cooking and experimenting with this Yuzu Kosho; could be endless. As others have noted, expensive for a very small jar, but I highly recommended it.

teeny little bottle of deliciousness

This is so freaking delicious. Salty sour spicy with its own flavor, citrus but balanced and gentle, not like lime, lemon, or lemongrass. Only wish the jar was bigger.
