Taste of Kochi: Yuzu

Kochi Prefecture produces over 50% of Japan’s crop of yuzu, a citrus fruit known for its aroma and many culinary uses. Yuzu grows best in mountainous terrain, and orchards dot the rocky hillsides of eastern Kochi.

A visit to Yuzu no Mori, a yuzu factory in the secluded village of Umaji, showcases the multiple uses of the popular fruit, from juice and jams through to alcoholic drinks and even body care products. Tour the factory to see how this popular citrus makes it from orchard to kitchen and enjoy a taste of yuzu at its source.
