Yuzu

Yuzu is an East Asian citrus fruit and plant belonging to the Rutaceae family. Typically, winter is when it's accessible. It is relatively uncommon and only 27000 tons are produced a year, with Kochi prefecture producing most of it. This fruit looks like a small grapefruit with uneven skin and a yellow or green tinge, though its color varies depending on how ripe it is. Yuzu fruits normally have a diameter between 5.5 and 7.5 cm and are quite fragrant, though they can be as large as a regular grapefruit.

Yuzu forms an upright shrub or small tree, which commonly has many large thorns. Leaves are notable for a large, leaf-like petiole, resembling those of the related kaffir lime and ichang papeda, and are heavily scented. Many characteristics of yuzu are similar to those of sudachi, but unlike sudachi, yuzu finally ripens to an orange color, and the flavors of the fruit change just slightly from one another.
