Description
Sudachi (すだち) is a small, fragrant Japanese citrus known for its vivid tartness and subtly herbal notes. Smaller and greener than yuzu, it offers a bright acidity similar to lime, but with a more complex aroma that includes hints of pepper and zest. In Japan, it’s commonly used to season grilled fish, noodles, and salads — a few drops can lift and balance an entire dish.
YUZUYA HONTEN’s 100% sudachi juice is made without salt, preservatives, or added water — just pure juice, bottled at peak flavour. This compact 200ml bottle is ideal for home cooks, mixologists, and pastry chefs looking to introduce authentic Japanese citrus to their kitchen.
Use & Application
Sudachi juice delivers a sharp, refreshing acidity with a clean, crisp citrus flavour. Its bright profile makes it ideal for enhancing both savoury and sweet dishes.
-
Start with ¼ to ½ teaspoon per serving when seasoning seafood, cold soba noodles, tofu, or grilled fish.
-
Mix into soy sauce or dashi to create ponzu-style dressings and dipping sauces.
-
Blend into cocktails, sparkling water, or teas for a refreshing citrus twist. A ratio of 1% to 5% sudachi juice is typical depending on the desired level of tartness.
-
Incorporate into sorbets, jellies, or fruit-based desserts to add a clean, lively acidity.
-
Due to its concentrated flavour, use sparingly and adjust to taste to avoid overpowering the dish.
Tips:
-
A little sudachi juice goes a long way — always taste as you go.
-
For baking, add small amounts (e.g., 1–2 teaspoons) to light sponge or yogurt-style cakes to brighten flavour without disrupting texture.
-
Store refrigerated after opening and use within a few weeks for optimal freshness.
