A note from the Kumamoto International culinary desk: A friend of mine from Gokanosho (五家荘, a village between Yatushiro and Yabe), which is famous for yuzu (ゆず - a citrus similar to a lemon), recently visited and gave us a bottle of Yuzukosyou (ゆずこしゅう), a paste made from three ingredients: yuzu peel, red pepper, and salt - and it is absolutely the most delicious condiment I’ve ever tasted! The flavor is both strong and subtle. Looked up their Website, and they do Internet sales ー it costs about 700 yen but is worth much more, culinaryesquely (and, yes, I did just make up that word). There’s also a green sauce made using Japanese pepper (sansyou, 山椒) that I’m dying to try. Let me know if you have any questions. - William
