Kawashimaya Organic Yuzu Juice 100% is a yuzu pure straight juice made from 100% hand-squeezed organic yuzu grown in the pristine mountains of Tokushima Prefecture, Japan.
This pure juice is not only versatile to use as seasoning but also shelf-stable and additive-free, making it a clean and delicious choice for your culinary creations.
Product Development Story
In recent years, the popularity of Japanese yuzu has increased. Many products involving yuzu are available locally and worldwide. However, it is worrisome that some commercially sold products use additives, synthetic yuzu flavorings, and excessive sugars instead of harnessing the fantastic benefits of the real yuzu.
This product is crafted with the intention of introducing the original yuzu’s taste and aroma, cultivated without the use of pesticides, and delivering pure yuzu juice with no additives.
We want the world to know that they can experience the true flavor of yuzu without any added chemical ingredients that could compromise their health. Since we also directly procure from the producers, we can offer it at a relatively affordable price. Please try this product by all means for those who want to incorporate 100% pure, healthy yuzu juice into their daily healthy lifestyle.
Using Kito Yuzu, Sourced from the Famous Kito Village
Our Organic Yuzu Juice 100% is crafted in Kito Village, Tokushima Prefecture, a mountainous region renowned for its high-quality yuzu. The yuzu has a great aroma and the right acidity as it is grown in rich limestone soil with high rainfall and dramatic temperature swings.
Before Kito Yuzu became famous, Yuzu citrus was considered difficult to cultivate and had an unstable harvest. It is said that the yuzu tree takes 18 years to bear fruit.
However, due to the high dedication of the Kito people, they succeeded in creating a yuzu cultivation method that yields fruit in 3-5 years. They received the “Asahi agricultural award” in 1978 for their agricultural developments and local revitalization. Because of this award, Kito Yuzu is recognized as the best yuzu from Japan worldwide. Today, most of the yuzu seedlings cultivated in Japan are derived from Kito yuzu.
Pure Blessing from Nature, Full of Nutrients
Yuzu is rich in Vitamin C, as well as antioxidants such as flavonoids, carotenoids, and tannins, which contribute to its refreshing aroma and rich flavor. Additionally, it is rich in minerals such as magnesium, manganese, and potassium, making it a delightful and nutritious addition to daily meals.
For this product, we employ a natural, cyclical farming method that avoids all synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and even animal-based fertilizers. Instead, local farmers nourish the soil with compost made from grasses, fallen leaves, and used yuzu peels, which is an environmentally friendly approach.
Leaving all the goodness from nature remains sealed in the yuzu juice 100% bottle.
Our Special Commitment
100% Organic Japanese Yuzu
This product is made exclusively from JAS-certified organic yuzu grown without the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or animal-based fertilizers. Yuzu citrus is the only ingredient used.
Additive-Free and All Natural
No sugar, preservatives, coloring, flavoring, or acidulants. Just the essence of yuzu. Please use it with confidence for your cooking and mixing recipes.
Commitment to Hand-Squeezed Juice
Each yuzu fruit is squeezed by hand using traditional presses, with an extraction rate of only 10%, whereas the usual yuzu juice squeezed with machines has an extraction rate of 20%.
Although labor-intensive and yielding less juice than machines, it avoids the bitter oils from the peel, ensuring a pure, smooth, and fragrant flavor perfect for culinary use.
Shelf-Stable Convenience
Carefully bottled to maintain freshness while providing a 12-month shelf life before opening.
The perfectly sized 250 ml (approximately 8.4 fl oz) yuzu juice is also ideal for everyday cooking purposes.
Made in Japan with Craftsmanship
Each drop reflects the care and tradition of Japanese farming by the dedicated yuzu juice crafters.
