Green Yuzu Kosho, 50g by Mecenat

Yuzu kosho is an aromatic paste with spicy umami that adds tint and depth to a variety of dishes.

The heat from the chilli enhances the tastes, and provides invigorating heat.  The recipe is low in salt, and contains nothing artificial.

In fact the ingredients are just green chilli peppers, removed of their excess moisture, and the zesty skins of green yuzu, together with a small amount of salt.

Mecenat suggest using the paste as an accompaniment with noodle dishes such as udon, soba or chilled somen.  Or with sashimi, light miso soup, grilled chicken, yudofu… or any number of dishes.

We recommend you try it in a cheese toasty.

Ingredients: chilli pepper, yuzu, salt
Size : 6x5x5cm / Weight:50g
