Okasi yuzu chocolate

Yuzu is a citrus hybrid that is considered to be a special fruit in Japan. Its second name is “Japanese lemon”. A lot of people gather to see yuzu blossom, as well as sakura. This is a small bush or a tree up to four meters high with branches covered with numerous large spikes. The “Japanese lemon” resembles a tangerine a bit, however its peel is a bit rough and has a golden yellow to dark-green color — it depends on whether it’s ripe or not. The fruit peel smells delicious, its fragrance is unique and difficult to describe. It is gentle, citrus with a floral note. A charming sunny fragrance of yuzu combines the best features of a grapefruit, lemon and tangerine. Japanese believe a citrus fragrance of yuzu to be inspiring, encouraging optimism and a sense of well-being. It is yuzu peel powder that we have used to create this unique chocolate of yellow color according to an original Japanese recipe.
