Yuzu Sable (Yuzu Sable) Yuzu has long been the most prized citrus fruit in Tosa, a region that is known for its citrus fruits. Yuzu has long been an indispensable secret ingredient in local cuisine, and there are many souvenirs in the prefecture that make use of yuzu. Yuzu Sable” by Shoujuan, established in the early Taisho period (1912-1926), is another popular product that uses locally produced yuzu. The dough is kneaded with home-cooked yuzu peel, and a fresh aroma wafts from the moment the bag is opened. The two textures, the flaky texture of the sable and the crunchy texture left by the yuzu peel, create an elegant taste. Incidentally, this year’s winter solstice falls on December 22, the day of the shortest day and longest night of the year, and in Japan there is a custom from the Edo period to soak in a yuzu bath to ward off evil spirits so as not to catch a cold.
