You have no idea how valuable these videos are for permaculture and edible landscaping enthusiasts. Many rare fruits like Yuzu can be grown in temperate zones, but they are typically unknown to gardeners and not grown or eaten. Yuzu is apparently good down to 10'F/-12C maybe even lower.
Yuzu is actually a very popular flavour here in HK, give anything a Yuzu flavour, it just vanishes off the shelf. People also eat it often, during the Mid Autumn festival. But you gotta find a bigger one than that, or else, yeah, it's gonna be very sour.
Yuzu is more about its fragrance than its flavor- its like a lemon orange but with a juniper inflection... I think the rind on the Yuzu is what's valued and I've even had crystallized yuzu peel which is fantastic- sugar definitely brings out the flavor. Its used in baking too- I have had a wonderful dessert where they cut the yuzu's top off like a jack-o-lantern, hollow out the fruit, and bake a sort of citrus pound cake inside the rind! I think they may also have candied the rind. Its served with juniper leaves which enhance the flavor.
yuzu is a ancient citrus, early on branched off as a family line...smells like grapefruit/tangerine, but slightly musky- has it's own distinct smell... I grow them. big thorns!
@@Call-me-Al Yeah, the Roku gin from Suntory. It's my favourite gin. Suntory also make the "Merchant Heart" tonic water range. If I'm buying Suntory spirits then I'm buying Merchant Heart to mix it with!
@@FunkyFyreMunky I didn't know about their tonic water, thanks for the info! I have an unhealthy fondness for straight up tonic water of various kinds.
Yuzu sake is really great! I got a 750mL bottle for about $15 on sale here in San Francisco during a ramen festival, and yesterday I bought a yuzu tree on sale for $25. Super excited for the harvest after seeing your review! Thanks ^^
In Korean grocery stores they sell a yuzu paste mixed with strong brewed tea in a glass jar for health reasons. it really does help to banish the common cold, get rid of throat congestion and it is delicious. You take a big spoon of it, put it in a mug, add hot water to it, stir and drink it down. A large jar costs ~$8.00 and is worth every penny. The Japanese use yuzu as a condiment mixed with soy sauce. I have got to try that. I just thought it was lemon flavored which isn't all that special. Yuzu kosho is a traditional Japanese condiment made from spicy peppers and kuzu grated peel. The Japanese also make a marmalade from kuzu fruit. The peel is delicious when candied.
I'm not really a big fan of sugary sodas, but a couple of years back I found a really tasty green citrusy one, very off-brand, named Yuzu. It was very cheap and I doubt there's any real yuzu in it, but it's made me very curious about the fruit and this video didn't turn me off it at all. Curious about the yuzu-booze, too!
That sounds deslish! I love trying weird sodas. You might be able to make your own yuzu soda! If you have an asian supermarket try and track down something called Yujacha, its basically a concentrate of yuzu that is used in tea. Just thin it out and mix with seltzer.
Thanks for the video, Jared. I have a few men's fragrances that I like that feature yuzu in the top notes. I'd love to get my hands on a yuzu fruit just to cut it open and put my nose on it. Any idea where I can get one in the states? Maybe at a Japanese restaurant?
I've had my yuzu tree for 3 years. They say it takes about 10 years to produce fruit so I'm still waiting to taste this fruit, lol. I've had yuzu sake though and it was amazing. Can't wait to make yujacha and cook Japanese dishes with the fruit.
How to eat Hyuga-Natsu is quite different from other citrus species. Hyuga-Natsu should be pealed like apple and sliced like peach with its white albedo left. The albedo of Hyuga-Natsu has slightly sweet taste and no bitterness. And eat its flesh with its albedo. That’s how Hyuga-Natsu should be eaten in the most delicious way.
Yuzu is not Japanese. China is the first country of yuzu and has developed a yuzu tea in Korea. Japan imports a lot of yuzu, but they don't know how to eat yuzu, so they think it's jam, so they eat it on bread. China: yòuzi korea:yuza Japan:yuzu English:citron Everyone, watch out for the corona.😷😷
I have a yuzu tree. I got it 7 years ago and this is the first year producing fruits.

lol yup that’s why I’m here, gardening in zone 8b and looking for the perfect citrus to fill out my collection

Actually, we eat Pomelo instead of Yuzu in Mid Autumn Festival. Yuzu is more like a “Japanese” fruit.

Yuzu-infused bourbon is also really nice.
@@FunkyFyreMunky there's some Japanese gin that is infused with yuzu and more, it's quite enjoyable to drink neat.

hows the tree looking? just ordered one
I loved the vioin music at the begining. And the video was fun to watch how fruit was displayed, they looked like fruit presents.
thanks!
Yuzu is my fave fruit

wikipedia on it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yujacha
I've had yuzu thinly sliced as a garnish/flavoring on chirashi sushi. Took me days to figure out what type of citrus it was.
I love yuzu juice. I drank it all the time in Japan.
Yuzuade for colds lemonade for stands
my mom bought some yuzu-flavoured lemonade today and i immediately went here to learn more! i knew you would have had them haha
Yuzu tea is freaking awesome!

They are very hard to find here. I've only seen them once at a Japanese market in NYC. Your best bet would be to find an online specialty store.
Its perfume is amazingly uplifting. Add Yuzu EO to Hinoki (japanese cypress) and you fly up high.
I can’t find part two. Did you make part two?
Its the next episode on the Hyuganatsu :)
Weird Explorer , I think I found it 😃

Just had some yuzu lemon water. So good! Definitely a hint a passion fruit
Publix had PUBLIX brand yuzu pineapple lemonade and it’s like all the sweet taste and flavor of a pineapple but no sour or bitterness
Thanks for this video
Greetings from Argentina
Have you had Nadarcotts before?
On a sourness scale where 10 is a lemon, would you rate this an 11 or 12? Maybe a 13?
How to eat Hyuga-Natsu is quite different from other citrus species. Hyuga-Natsu should be pealed like apple and sliced like peach with its white albedo left. The albedo of Hyuga-Natsu has slightly sweet taste and no bitterness. And eat its flesh with its albedo. That’s how Hyuga-Natsu should be eaten in the most delicious way.
But can i use it in Gin?
oh for sure. lots of yuzu cocktails out there, would probably be really good.
it would be best case scenario for gin.
@@Dbtclctr Gin is great !...for removing paint.
cool video!
funny expression!! must b really sour.
Salt may also have helped you to pick up the flavour.
I hope to try this fruit someday, considering how much I love sourness
Yuzu is a flavour some posher yoghurts have here in the UK.
I want to try it.
Yuzu bottled doesn’t taste like yuzu fruit. The fruit is very different compared to other lemons. Really great variety.
Yes, citrus fruits are sour. Dork.
Dude I Tried That In Mentos.... It’s Not That Sour
Obviously the real thing doesn’t compare to mentos.
