Win a Box of Yuzu-Inspired October Nourishing Essential Care Package Today!
The Yuzu-Inspired Box from Kokoro Care Packages includes:
- Yuzu Soba Noodles (with Tsuyu Sauce) – Japanese soba noodles, made from buckwheat, have a buttery smooth nutty flavor. The noodles are made within an hour of being milled to preserve their flavor and can maintain their freshness even when stored at room temperature. The addition of yuzu in the dipping sauce gives a unique twist to the classic soba noodle sauce, providing a citrus zest to the sweet mirin and umami-rich soy sauce.
- Yuzu Sansho Pepper Paste – Use as a seasoning in soups (miso soup, noodle soups, etc.), with grilled meat, fish or vegetables, in pasta dishes, in stir fries, or on gyoza.
- 100% Yuzu Juice – This 100% authentic, fresh Japanese yuzu juice from Tokushima brings the subtle, grapefruit-like flavor of yuzu to your kitchen. Use whenever the dish calls for a splash of citrus.
- Yuzu Salt – This artisanal salt from Mera Foods includes locally cultivated yuzu peels which are dried and ground before being combined with salt left behind by the high tides around Miyazaki prefecture. Sprinkle on soups, pasta, chicken, fish, or vegetables just before serving, or on sweets such as ice cream.
- Yuzu Sanbei (rice crackers) – Senbei are local treats that have the sweetness of a cookie with the crispy crunch of a cracker, and are often given as gifts or served to guests. These senbei have a subtle citrus sweet taste from the added yuzu, which is sourced from Kobayashi City in Miyazaki Prefecture.
- Yuzu Sour Chips – The flavorful, aromatic peel of yuzu can be thinly sliced and used when cooking, pickling vegetables, or delicately candied to make these Sour Yuzu Chips. Enjoy as is or chop finely and sprinkle on yogurt or ice cream, or stir into muffin batter or scone dough.
They partner with local producers who are passionate about their products and connect you to the stories behind what makes each of their items so unique. Their products are chemical-free and many cannot be found outside of Japan. They also include English translations and suggested so you can easily enjoy all the wonderful foods.

About Kokoro Care Packages
Kokoro (written as 心 in kanji) translates into “heart” in Japanese, yet has a much deeper meaning. It represents the “spirit”, “soul” and “emotion”, and is the foundation of each of the Kokoro Care Packages. You can read more here.

They offer hand-crafted Care Packages filled with premium-quality, all-natural Japanese foods delivered straight from Japan to your door.
Each item (including noodles, cooking essentials sauces, spices, snacks, soups, teas and more) is carefully selected for its quality, ease of use and of course, great taste!

I love anything with Yuzu. Was amazed to see they sell yuzu soya sauce in Japan when I was in Tokyo some years back. Bought a few bottles back to Singapore. I will like to share this care package with my daughter as she is also a fan of yuzu.

My daughter ❤s all things yuzu! She is so disappointed being onlime at home, not away at college, this semester. A box of new yuzu items to try would brighten her day. The Kokoro care packages sound like happy surprises for her to receive in the mail…at home or at college!
