Suki Tokusan artfully stews yuzu peels in natural granulated sugar to add the right amount of sweetness to the tart, acidic notes of the yuzu peel. Honey is also added to balance the sourness to achieve a sweet and sour taste known as amazuppai.

Suki Tokusan was founded as a way to bolster the declining population of Suki, a small village in Miyazaki Prefecture on Kyushu island. In order to revive the area and bring attention to its agricultural treasures, Suki Tokusan began specializing in locally grown produce, such as yuzu, and using them to create their own regional specialities.

Suggested use: Enjoy as is or pair with a Japanese tea. Can also be finely chopped and sprinkled on yogurt or ice cream, or mixed into muffin batter or scone dough.
