Ingredients
- 1 piece kombu (dried kelp) (1 x 1.5 inches, 2.5 x 4 cm)
- ½ cup katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) (packed; for vegan/vegetarian, omit or substitute it with 1 to 2 dried shiitake mushrooms)
- 2 Tbsp mirin
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup freshly squeezed yuzu juice (roughly 5 to 6 yuzu fruit; store yuzu zest from all the peels)

Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Add a piece of kombu and katsuobushi to a sterilized, wide mouth, 16-oz (2 cups, 480 ml) mason jar.
- Add mirin, soy sauce, and yuzu juice.
- Make sure kombu and katsuobushi are submerged. If not, cover the lid and give a good shake. Store the jar in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
- Strain the yuzu ponzu into a fine-mesh sieve over a measuring cup. Discard the used kombu and katsuobushi. You can also repurpose them to make furikake rice seasoning. Pour the yuzu ponzu back into the jar.
To Enjoy
- You can enjoy the yuzu ponzu immediately. However, it's best to wait for a week (or up to 3-4 months!) so that the flavors have a chance to meld and to round out the sour taste from the yuzu.
To Store
- Store the yuzu ponzu in the refrigerator and keep it for up to 6-12 months.
