Why it earned a place
Hardly any fruit evokes as much esteem or mystique as yuzu, a Japanese citrus variety that looks like a bumpy, uglier cousin to the lemon, but its flavor, fragrance, and intensity are incomparable to other citrus. Decadently floral, tart, and assertively aromatic, the scent of Yuzu is so potent that it is cherished in Japan not only for its culinary value, but also as a perfume and bathing oil for special occasions.
