Celebrate the yuzu season with us in the Japanese countryside | Yuzu recipes from Umaji Village

Yuzu Hajimaru Matsuri, or Yuzu "Beginning" Festival, is an exciting event that marks the start of the yuzu harvest season in Umaji Village. ?This village plays a significant role in the yuzu production of Kochi Prefecture, which is recognized as Japan’s largest producer of this citrus fruit. If you're considering visiting, I highly recommend checking out the festival details online. Just a heads-up—due to the village's location, having a car is essential for your trip. It’s a wonderful way to experience the local culture and enjoy the flavors of yuzu! #NotSponsored: I had the opportunity to travel to Umaji Village, thanks to the support of the Umaji Village Agricultural Cooperative, which generously covered my accommodations and transportation costs. No further financial transactions took place to make this video. ___________________________ ?‍?Recipes Yuzu pie: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/12698/easy-key-lime-pie-i/ *swap key lime juice with yuzu juice. ___________________________ Watch extended, no-voice-over videos, plus my regular ad-free videos and exclusive Q&A sessions at https://www.patreon.com/MaigoMika ___________________________ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maigomika Blog: https://www.maigomika.com/ Become a regular contributor at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MaigoMika Donate one time on Ko-Fi (https://ko-fi.com/maigomika). ___________________________ ⭐FAQ ⭐ While I try to read all your comments, I’m not able to respond to all of them.
