Yugeta Shoyu Yuzu Ponzu Soy Sauce is a beautifully balanced, citrus-forward condiment that highlights the pure, floral aroma of Japanese yuzu. To make this ponzu, Yugeta-san blends his traditionally brewed soy sauce with yuzu juice, mirin, dashi, salt, and sugar, then enriches the flavor with katsuobushi and kombu. What makes it unique is its exclusive use of yuzu—while most ponzu sauces use a mix of citrus, this one celebrates the brightness of yuzu alone, giving it a distinctive, elegant character.
This ponzu is incredibly versatile. Its light yet complex flavor makes it an ideal dipping sauce for shabu-shabu, sushi, sashimi, grilled meats, and dumplings. It also works beautifully whisked into salad dressings, drizzled over steamed vegetables, stirred into mayonnaise or aioli, or used as a finishing touch for noodles, seafood, or cold tofu. A little goes a long way in adding a citrusy, umami-rich lift to any dish.
Yugeta Shoyu has been making soy sauce in Tawame, Saitama Prefecture since 1923. Now run by fourth-generation shoyu maker Yohichi Yugeta, the company continues to brew shoyu naturally using only Japanese-grown soybeans and wheat, preserving traditional techniques that result in unmatched depth and flavor.
