Fragrant citrus Yumiso in cute pots
The long-standing Yaosan was founded about 300 years ago. Its specialty is Yumiso, which it sells in cute little lemon-shaped pots. Yumiso is a unique condiment made by adding the mother of citrus fruits, citrons, and several other ingredients into miso. It features the rich flavor and aroma of yuzu with refined sweetness. Yumiso goes well on steamed vegetables, rice and bread.
You’ll also love the look of the store as it’s kept the same traditional Japanese atmosphere as the day it opened.

Yumiso in a round wooden box
/ 130g: ¥900│200g: ¥1,350 (inc. tax)
Packed into a round wooden box, this version of Yaosan’s yumiso is less expensive than the potted one. Yumiso goes well on rice, warm seasonal vegetables and grilled fish. It also goes great on bread in place of jam!
Also, as yumiso is quite strong, a little goes a long way.
*Best eaten within 30 days of purchasing. Please keep at room temperature.
