Yuzu Kosho (Green Citrus Chili Paste) (2oz Bottle)

What Is Yuzu Kosho?

Yuzu kosho is a traditional Japanese paste that combines:

• yuzu zest (fragrant citrus)
• green chili peppers (clean heat)
• salt (to balance and preserve)

The result is a bold, concentrated condiment that delivers both heat and citrus in one.

Flavor Profile

Yuzu kosho is intense, but balanced.

Expect:

• bright citrus aroma
• sharp, clean heat
• savory saltiness
• long, refreshing finish

A small amount goes a long way.

Why It Stands Out

Unlike typical hot sauces or chili pastes, yuzu kosho is:

• more aromatic than spicy
• citrus-forward rather than vinegar-based
• clean and sharp, not heavy
• designed to enhance—not overpower

It’s used in Japanese cuisine the same way chefs use finishing salts or acids.

How to Use

Yuzu kosho is extremely versatile.

Seafood (Recommended)

• add a small amount to sashimi or sushi
• mix into soy sauce for dipping
• finish grilled fish or scallops

Meat

• pair with steak or Wagyu
• add to grilled chicken or pork

Simple Dishes

• stir into rice or noodles
• add to sauces or dressings
• mix with mayo or butter

Start small—this is a concentrated ingredient.

Ideal For

• sushi and sashimi
• grilled seafood
• steak and Wagyu
• sauces and marinades
• everyday flavor upgrades

A Natural Fit with Nordic Catch

Yuzu kosho pairs especially well with:

• bluefin tuna
• salmon sashimi
• scallops
• wagyu and premium meats

It’s one of the easiest ways to elevate your entire order.
