Igeta ponzu shōyu 360 ml

Ponzu is one of those condiments that rewards good ingredients more than almost anything else, since there is nowhere to hide. Inoue Honke’s version is built on a blend of their two-year koikuchi and three-year kōkō shōyu, giving it considerably more depth than a ponzu made from standard soy sauce alone. To that base they add sudachi and yuzu juice from Tokushima Prefecture, along with katsuobushi and kombu dashi.

The result sits closer to the citrus end of the spectrum than many commercial ponzu, with a clean sharpness that doesn’t linger sourly. It works well as a dipping sauce for shabu-shabu, grilled fish, or tofu, but also as a dressing for raw vegetables or a finishing splash over a simply cooked piece of meat. Ingredients: sudachi juice, koikuchi shōyu, hon mirin, katsuobushi, kombu.
