Yuzu hit the UK
Yellow citrus fruit Yuzu was making waves at this year’s Japan Food Show, showing up as an ingredient in many different products.
Beverages manufacturer Sansu showcased a range of still and sparkling Yuzu drinks, mixing the fruit with pear, pink guava and raspberry.
Reportedly the only manufacturer in the world to use Yuzu as a core ingredient for products, UK-based Sansu hoped to bring the Yuzu, which carries hints of lime, grapefruit and mandarin flavours, to a wider audience.
Other stalls saw Yuzu incorporated into cooking as part of glazes and sauces, or its peels added to ice cold teas.
