Yakami Orchard Unfiltered Ponzu 750 mL - Artisanal Japanese Ponzu

Yakami Orchard Unfiltered Ponzu is a rare, artisanal Japanese condiment that represents the pinnacle of citrus-based seasonings. Unlike mass-produced ponzu, this "unfiltered" version contains the natural fruit solids and pulp from fresh Yuzu, Sudachi, and Daidai citrus fruits, creating a cloudy, texturally rich liquid with an explosive aromatic profile. It is brewed using high-quality soy sauce, bonito flakes (katsuobushi), and kombu to provide a deep, smoky umami backbone that perfectly balances the bright, multi-layered acidity of the citrus.

As a Canadian supplier based in Calgary, Alberta, we provide this 750 mL professional format to help chefs and mixologists add a sophisticated, handmade quality to their dishes. Whether you are finishing a plate of wagyu beef or seasoning a premium seafood crudo, Yakami Orchard Ponzu offers a depth of flavor that is impossible to achieve with filtered alternatives. We offer fast shipping across Canada to ensure your kitchen is equipped with this world-class Japanese pantry essential.

WHY IT WORKS

• Unfiltered Aromatic Intensity: By retaining the natural citrus oils and pulp, this ponzu delivers a significantly more vibrant scent and "front-of-palate" zing than clear versions.

• Three-Citrus Blend: Features an expert balance of Yuzu (aroma), Sudachi (acidity), and Daidai (sweetness), providing a three-dimensional flavor profile that evolves as you eat.

• Traditional Umami Base: Brewed with authentic katsuobushi and kombu, ensuring a savory, smoky finish that complements both charred meats and delicate raw fish.

• Natural Texture: The presence of fruit solids adds a rustic, artisanal visual appeal to sauces and provides a better "cling" when used as a dipping condiment.

• Clean Label Quality: Crafted without the use of high-fructose corn syrup or artificial flavorings, relying on traditional fermentation and real fruit for its superior taste.

• Wine and Spirit Friendly: The complex acidity makes it a favorite for mixologists looking to add a savory, citrusy dimension to clear spirits or non-alcoholic elixirs.

USE CASES

• High-End Robata Grills: Used as a finishing splash for grilled meats and charred vegetables, where the acidity cuts through the fat and the umami enhances the smoke.

• Modern Seafood Bars: Performs exceptionally well as a dressing for octopus or snapper, where the pulp adds a beautiful "cloudy" aesthetic and concentrated flavor.

• Fine Dining Saucier Stations: Solves the problem of "flat" emulsified sauces; a small addition provides an instant aromatic lift and savory complexity.

• Artisan Noodle Shops: Ideal for cold Soba or Udon dipping sauces (Tsuyu), providing a refreshing citrus element that lightens the overall dish.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is the liquid cloudy? This is an unfiltered product, meaning it contains real citrus pulp and oils. This cloudiness is a mark of quality and provides a much more intense flavor than clear, filtered ponzu.

Do I need to shake the bottle? Yes. Because it is unfiltered, the natural fruit solids will settle at the bottom. Gently shake before each use to ensure a consistent balance of flavor and texture.

Is this different from regular "ponzu" found in grocery stores? Absolutely. Most commercial ponzus use lemon or lime juice and artificial flavorings. Yakami Orchard uses real Japanese citrus (Yuzu, Sudachi, Daidai) and traditional dashi (bonito and kombu).

Should I refrigerate it after opening? Yes. To protect the delicate citrus oils and prevent the soy from oxidizing, it must be kept refrigerated after the seal is broken.

Is this product vegan? No. Traditional Yakami Orchard Ponzu contains bonito (fish) as part of its umami base.
