What You'll Learn

You will learn which specialty items actually change a dish, and which ones you can safely skip.

Buy it when the recipe needs it

There is no point stocking yuzu kosho for a dish you make twice a year. Buy it the week you plan to cook, and use it three times.

💡

Once you open yuzu kosho, put it in the fridge and finish it in two months. The aroma fades fast.

🎓
Did you know?

Yuzu kosho was a regional condiment from Kyushu until the 1990s. Most of Japan had never seen it before then.

🔑
Pro Tip

Search for the Japanese name, not the English one, when you shop online. The English names are inconsistent between shops.
