The season for fresh sudachi is October to December.
The citrus sudachi fruit is a small fruit of Japanese origin that grows in clusters on branches. Sudachi has a lime flavour with peppery, herbal undertones. Famously paired with matsutake mushrooms in Japanese cooking, they work wonderfully well with all fungi.
Most commonly used when unripe and green, both the zest (minutely grated) and juice are tart and aromatic and the sour citrus fruit can be eaten raw. Their wonderful aroma can really lift up both savoury dishes and desserts.
Similar to other citrus varieties like yuzu, sudachi juice has great versatility being used with fish, sushi, sashimi, ceviche, as food flavouring in cakes, ice cream and sorbet or added to alcoholic beverages and soft drinks.
Stores well in the fridge for 14 days.
