3 Different Types of Ponzu
Homemade ponzu sauce is much tastier than the store-bought kind. More than anything else, you can enjoy it without worrying about what's in it. The key is to use juice from a citrus that's in season (use Decopon in the summer, etc.) Dashi flavored ponzu sauce becomes more delicious the longer you let it rest, so it's really convenient to make it in advance to have on hand.
You can use bonito flakes of course, but have used dashi "tea bags" (also called dashi packs) to eliminate the need to strain the dashi. Use any citrus juice you like such as lemon, yuzu, daidai, sudachi, kabosu, or combine. You can also use bottled 100% juice too. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

If using yuzu, thinly shave the zest off after juicing the fruit, cover with plastic wrap, put into a plastic bag and freeze. The seeds can be soaked in shochu, to use as facial skin toner. There's nothing to throw out. You can also use kabosu or sudachi citrus. For eating puffer fish, daidai is good. Try ponzu sauce on rice porridge or pickled Chinese cabbage.I make a lot of the the base, so I make 1 cup of juice plus an equal amount of vinegar and turn it into ponzu soy sauce as needed. I divided any leftover citrus juice only into small portions, and froze it in plastic bottles or plastic bags. It's much better to make ponzu soy sauce when needed since the soy sauce loses its flavor quickly. Recipe by gaviota -
