Marusho ponzu sauces are created with generous amounts of up to five different fresh citrus juices. Authentic and high quality ingredients including shiitake mushroom, bonito soup stock, kombu seaweed, honjozo shoyu (soy sauce) and hon mirin (Japanese sweet cooking sake) provide the distinctive umami flavour. Classically used to dress sashimi and marinate fish and vegetables these sauces also make excellent salad dressings and bases for fish and meat dishes. They combine a citrus punch with a delicate sweetness and rich depth of flavour.
