Marusho Shio Ponzu. 300ml
Picture a steaming pot of nabe at the center of the table, and one small bowl of golden, citrus-bright sauce beside it. One dip and everything wakes up. That's Marusho Shio Ponzu.
Instead of the usual dark, soy-heavy ponzu, this one is pale, clean and silky. Juice from five Japanese citrus fruits is blended with gently kettle-boiled sea salt and a whisper of natural kombu, so the flavor is bright, rounded and deeply savory without ever feeling sharp. It lets your food shine instead of covering it up.
What's inside the bottle
- Five Japanese citrus – yuzu, daidai, sudachi, yuko and kabosu, a floral, zesty, layered blend you can smell the moment you open it.
- Kettle-boiled sea salt – made the slow way in Kumano-nada, for a soft, mineral saltiness that tastes round, not harsh.
- Natural Hokkaido kombu – a quiet, oceanic umami that makes every bite taste fuller.
- No chemical seasonings added – just real ingredients. Made by Marusho, crafting since 1879.
Drizzle it on
- Sashimi, scallops & oysters – a squeeze of bright, salty citrus in one step.
- Hot pot & shabu-shabu – the classic dipping sauce for tender meat and winter vegetables.
- Gyoza & tempura – cuts through crisp, golden richness.
- Grilled fish, chicken & steak – a lighter finish than lemon and salt.
- Salads & cold tofu – whisk with a little olive oil for an instant Japanese-style dressing.
Net volume: 300 ml
