‘Ponzu’ is a Japanese citrus-based sauce. It is made with Soy Sauce, Rice Wine Vinegar and juice of citrus fruit such as Yuzu. ‘Katsuobushi’ (Bonito Flakes) and Kelp are also used, so ‘Ponzu’ is full of ‘Umami’.

It is commonly used as dipping sauce and marinade, but ‘Ponzu’ is a great seasoning sauce for salad and many dishes.

Here are two methods to make ‘Ponzu’. The best method is totally recommended. It takes time but only a few days. You go to try it!
*Note: ‘Yuzu’ fruit is hard to find, but bottled ‘Yuzu’ juice can be found at some Asian grocery stores.
