What is Yuzu Kosho?

Yuzu kosho is a Japanese chilli paste fermented with salt and yuzu, a fragrant citrus fruit. It is commonly used on yakitori meat skewers, in salad dressings and as a dip in Japanese and Korean cuisines.

If you’re looking for a new kick of spice for your taste buds, trust me when I say that this condiment is exactly what you are looking for!

What Does It Taste Like?

What you’re going to love about this spicy Japanese condiment is that it doesn’t give you the typical red, burning sensation you’re used to from other spicy food.

Yuzo kosho has a more subtle kick of spice that mixes the perfect amount of acidity from the citrus fruit with fresh chili, creating a different kind of spice! I dare you to try a teaspoon of it before adding it to your dish! I really love the fact that it can be used for fish and meat dishes and what I personally love to cook with it, chicken! Add this versatile condiment to your next dish!

Where can you buy it?

You can buy the tangy paste at your local Asian supermarket or online store. In London, you can try Japan Centre, Sous Chef and of course, Amazon.
