Pure juice of Kito Yuzu harvested in Kito Village of Tokushima, Japan. Kito Yuzu is a premium, award-winning variety of yuzu born from the region’s rare combination of natural elements. Often praised as “the best yuzu in Japan,” Kito Yuzu became the first fruit tree to receive the prestigious Asahi Agricultural Award in 1978. Its richness, exceptionally strong aroma, vivid acidity, and deep flavor have made it a beloved ingredient in high-end Japanese cuisine for decades.

Kito, now part of Tokushima’s Naka-cho, is celebrated as a “yuzu paradise.” Located at the southern foot of Mt. Tsurugi—Japan’s second tallest mountain—the area is blessed with clean water and forests. The community has long protected its natural environment. This dedication has earned Kito a reputation as the birthplace of Japan’s yuzu culture.
