Yakami Orchard Japanese Yuzu Juice - 100% Pure and Natural

Aaron ScheuermanAaron Scheuerman: The ingredients say that it is 100% yuzu juice, but I've had yuzu juice before, and this one is watered down! I can drink the entire bottle 8n one setting! I thought it was a good deal: two 12oz bottles for about $20, but it's not worth it! If you want real yuzu taste get the 4oz bottles for about $15 but you'll be able to taste that beautiful, deep, yuzu flavor.

valerie gerry: I use this in my ice water to give my water a little flavor. It is so tasty and refreshing. Not a strong flavor, just a subtle taste. Would be good in alcoholic drinks too. A bit over priced though, thus the 4 out of 5 stars.

FairyKat7: This is my first experience with this kind of product, but I did try it in a couple of different uses. My Definite Favorite Is An Additive In Plain Sparkling Water (about 1 teaspoon): What A GR8 Way To Sparkle Up Your Sparkling Water!! My second use was in a Cheesecake. Sadly, This Wonderful Juice did Nothing for my cheesecake (had already added over 2 tablespoons, and too much more might compromise the recipe!). FOR MY TASTEBUDS: This juice is light, but flavorful. If you've Never had "first press", you would not know the difference between "second press". And while this juice is an Excellent SPARK to Sparkling Water, it's taste is a bit too light to do much to a Cheesecake (I was looking for a more lemon~ish, citrus~ish flavor). ALL I KNOW IS, IS THAT THIS STUFF MAKES MY SPARKLING WATER TASTE TONS MORE EXCITING TO DRINK! The cheesecake issue is for another time!

Amazon Customer: This is a high quality, high-priced Japanese product. Yuzu has a distinctive taste, and for those who love it, there is no substitute. On the other hand, it can be called a form of lemon. Ordinary lemon juice costs about $2.50 for a quart at US supermarkets, whereas this costs over $20 for one and one half cups. So, if you are making a sidecar cocktail with Courvoisier, Cointreau and this yuzu juice, the yuzu juice will be the most expensive ingredient in the drink. But it is delightful.

On a recent visit to SE Asia, I saw high-quality individual yuzus, imported from Japan, for sale at about USD 5. The yuzu is about the same size as a Florida lemon. I have never seen yuzus offered at Asian supermarkets in the US. Apparently there is some restriction in importing them from Asia. But they can be grown here, and I hope some entrepreneurs will jump in and take advantage of the opportunity. The Japanese consumers are among the most demanding in the world, thay have a definite preference for yuzus over lemons, and this preference might be generalized.

frustratedcostumer: The product itself is amazing.. I love it and have been using it for years. My problem is the company that sold it to me, this case Taylor's Market.
I ordered it and arrived on time but it arrived opened. The cap was loose, the protective plastic was still on and complete. The cap being loose let air in and got in contact with the citrus liquid which of course over the time of the shipment it got an awful bitter taste. So my long wait was rewarded with a bitter oxidized product.

I called the next day and complained about this and fully explained the problem and nature of my complain, they immediately shipped another one to replace it.
A couple of days later he same problem arrived; Cap loose, product ruined.

Very frustrated and disappointed, I decided to switch to another seller.
