Oh man, have you ever tasted the sweet tang of yuzu? It’s like a lemon and an orange had a love child and it’s simply divine. And don’t even get me started on ponzu sauce! So when I heard about Yuzu Ponzu Premium Soy Dressing with Yuzu Citrus from Marukan, I just had to try it out for myself.
The Dressing
First things first, let’s talk about the packaging. It’s sleek and modern with a pop of orange to match the yuzu theme. When I opened the bottle, the aroma of soy sauce and yuzu immediately hit my nose and it was like my taste buds were already doing a happy dance.
The taste? Oh, the taste! It’s a perfect balance of salty soy and tangy yuzu. It’s not overpowering in the least bit and can complement any dish you pour it on. I personally tried it on a simple salad of mixed greens and it took it to the next level.
The Ginger Beer
Now, onto something a little more unique – Brookvale Union Citrusy Yuzu Ginger Beer! I know what you’re thinking, “Ginger beer? With yuzu? What kind of witchcraft is this?” But trust me, it’s worth trying.
The can design immediately caught my eye – it’s colorful, playful, and screams “fun summer drink”. When I cracked open the can, the aroma of ginger was strong but the yuzu added a welcome citrus note. And the taste? Refreshing, zingy, and slightly bubbly – the perfect combination. And because it’s a non-alcoholic beverage, you can sip on it all day long.

Now, onto the best part – a recipe using both the Yuzu Ponzu dressing and Brookvale Union Citrusy Yuzu Ginger Beer! Introducing…
