Japanese citron (Yuzu)

It's getting colder and colder in Tokyo!

Dec. 22 was this year "Tohji" = Winter solstice day.
At the "Tohji" day, we take a bath with floated "Yuzu", japanese citron.
These flavor are very good and make me reralx.
Also, they are effective for preventing colds.
I have Yuzu everyday in Winter, with many cooking.

Both "Tohji" and "Yuzu" are kigo of Winter.


Yuzu is a my close frined in Winter,
Why can I live without them
in other season?

  1. Hello again, and thank you for telling me about Tohji and Yuzu! I asked my wife about it and she said she forgot this year! But it sounds like a great idea - especially if it prevents colds!
    Thanks again! Marcus
