Origin / Influence: JAPAN 🇯🇵
Organic Tokushima yuzu paired with grape juice unlocks a citrus-sweet flavor in this Japanese jam.
- Yuzu from Tokushima: Organically grown in Tokushima, arguably Japan's finest yuzu-growing region, known for concentrated aromatic oils.
- Yuzu + grape: Organic grape juice contributes natural sweetness and body that allows the yuzu's sharp citrus to stand out.
- No added sugars: The grape's natural sugars do the sweetening; the yuzu provides the acidity and aromatics.
- Culinary range: Far more versatile than a typical jam, this functions as a glaze, a dressing component, a cocktail ingredient.
For the citrus and jam foodie that wants the fragrance of high-quality Japanese yuzu in a spreadable format, ready for toast, cheese boards, and endless possibility.
Origins
Tokushima Prefecture's yuzu cultivation benefits from steep mountain slopes, cool river water, and warm coastal air, conditions that concentrate the essential oils in the peel and sharpen the fruit's characteristic aroma. KANKITSU LABO partners directly with Tokushima organic citrus farmers, sourcing fruit that reflects this terroir. The grape pairing amplifies yuzu's natural sweetness while maintaining its sharp, floral identity.
Taste: Floral, Citrusy, Sweet.
How to enjoy
