THE YUZAURA STORY

THE YUZAURA STORY

Yuzu found me many years ago.

Growing up in Japan, it was in ice cold drinks every summer, and in the air every winter — bath houses scented with it, kitchens warmed by it, steaming ramen topped by it.

Years later, I went looking for it again. This time properly, in the orchards of Kochi, where it’s grown with love and patience by the farmers in the mountains by the ocean. Then found it again in the food halls and bars, served iced cold with every meal.

Yuzaura is what came out of that search: yuzu, done properly, brought to Amsterdam.

YUZAURA YUZU

We focus on Yuzu that tastes incredible, with intense aroma and bright acidity. I searched through hundreds of Yuzu samples in Kochi at the orchards, juicing production sites, and the Sunday Yuzu Market to find the right one.  

Yuzu varies harvest to harvest, tree to tree, in acidity, in sweetness, in aroma. We look for balance: a clean, sharp top note and a finish without bitterness or syrupy weight.

We source from Kochi, the Grand Cru region of Japan for Yuzu.
