桶柑 (タンカン)Recommended from Inoue san, secretly from box for us, not sure whether it was organic or not. But it was super sweet.

いちぢく season from late July, house first, Vege shop sell small ones from beginning, quite expensive but very sweet. Wait until they get cheaper and make syrup: whole fig with water, sugar and lemon.

柚子胡椒 Yuzu kosho

2014.02.06
Ingredients: 柚子皮・唐辛子 (red and green, very small ones), ratio around 10:1, not sure, need to taste to see -.-

Wash well before head, wipe water off with paper towel. Zest the yuzu skin only (save lots of time when blending), we had 50-60 this time. White part will make it bitter, don’t want that. Cut chillies to small pieces, blend well with yuzu zest.

* It ends up bitter somehow, not sure whether it was because we zest it first.
