Very Nice

Very nice and fresh. The smell of the pepper is evident after even just opening the package that the pepper comes in, this being said the pepper is in no way overpowering and can maintain it's clear almost citric like flavor when added to any dish.

Flavorful

Back in the States now for decades, I miss the 柚子 (yuzu) flavor found in many Japanese treats. This wonderful concentrate lets me infuse homemade ice cream, drinks, and confections with yuzu’s beautiful, refreshing tang. A little dose can go a long way, depending on how you use it. Be careful, though; you might start drinking it straight! It’s that good.

Amazing. Delicious. Fragrant.

When you open the bottle the fragrance wafts though the kitchen. Used cold, used hot, added to a dipping sauce- this is completely different from the insipid oils we've used in the past. It is absolutely delicious and adds a wonderful, rich touch to any dish. Most recently we used it in a dipping sauce for dumplings along with rice wine vinegar and Tamari- the richness that it added was unmistakeable. This is what sesame oil is supposed to be.

Surprising Ingredient!

I'm pretty much new to cooking with Japanese ingredients, and had never tried mochi-fu before. It was very easy to prepare, and it added a bit of "starch" to the soup I made. It took on the taste of the broth, and I probably could have left it in the soup stock longer. I really need to find more recipes for this!
