What Is Yuzu Juice?

Yuzu is a hybrid citrus fruit also known as yuga that's about the size of a tangerine. It has a thick, aromatic skin that's bright yellow when ripe.

It's mainly cultivated in Japan, Korea and China. However, in recent years it's grown so much in popularity, that it's now being cultivated in the USA.

If you don't have access to the fruit, you can easily find yuzu juice bottled online and in some grocery stores.
