Yuzu Koshu Red, 50 g

Yuzu Kosho Red is a rich, aromatic, and fiery Japanese condiment prepared from the zest of fragrant yuzu citrus fruit that is blended with red chili pepper and sea salt, and traditionally fermented, resulting in a savoury paste loaded with rich, complex flavour. In contrast to the Yuzu Kosho Green, this version is hotter and a tad sweet, and has a balance of citrus notes.
