The San Francisco Chronicle praises Yakami Orchard’s Yuzu and Sudachi products in its food section...
"Yuzu has been a trendy flavor among local chefs and bartenders for
several years, but it has remained elusive to home cooks who don’t grow
the tart Japanese citrus in their own backyards.
Yakami Orchard, located
on the coast of Japan’s Kyushu island, offers an array of yuzu products
that are just now becoming available in the Bay Area. Traditional in
ponzu sauce, yuzu seems to combine grapefruit, orange and lemon all in
one. Yakami’s unpasteurized juice is stunning in cocktails, and its
marmalade is delicious with cheeses, or mix a spoonful in hot water to
make a version of yujacha, a comforting Korean tea.
Yakami also produces sudachi juice – another Japanese citrus with
more of a lime flavor. Though a wholesaler, Vegiworks also sells
Yakami’s addictive, spicy yuzu kosho condiment and other yuzu products
on a limited, cash-only basis."
