  Culitivated for many years in China and the Korean peninsula as well as Japan, citron has a rich aroma and a full acidity. Highly resistant to cold weather, it is one of the few citrus fruits in East Asia that grows in the wild. It is widely used in Japanese cuisine as a seasoning by squeezing it over food for its fragrance and acidity. It is used for many different types ofdishes throughout the country. In Kyushu, the early ripened or ripened citron peel is pickled in salt, mixed with pepper, and used as a spice. The spice with the early ripened peel is used as a green spicy pepper, and that with the ripened peel as red spicy pepper. The spiciness of the pepper intriguingly envelops the rich aroma and acidity of the citron. Its use has spread from Kyushu to become widely employed as "citron pepper" throughout Japan.  Of the many citron production regions, the eastern Mera district is known for fruit with a particularly pungent aroma. The high altitude and sharp temperature differential between the seasons results in fogs that create the optimum conditions for growing the citron used in spices. the citron rinds are peeled completely by hand to prevent heat friction from removing the aroma. The Yuzusco is completed by combining the fruit with only the spiciest of green chili peppers, and finished with the addition of vineger carefully chosen as worthy of a product from a local company with 300 years of history.  While there are many types of spices, few elicit the intrinsic flavor of the ingredients used to make them. The rich unique aroma of citron, the spiciness of green chili peppers, and the crisp tartness of vinegar are combined in Yuzusco to provide the perfect accent to the food and expand thepotential inherent in the food itself.
