WHAT DOES PONZU MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ponzu

Ponzu

Ponzu is a citrus-based sauce commonly used in Japanese cuisine. It is tart, with a thin, watery consistency and a dark brown color. Ponzu shōyu or ponzu jōyu is ponzu sauce with soy sauce added, and the mixed product is widely referred to as simply ponzu. The element pon arrived in the Japanese language from the Dutch word pons. Su is Japanese for vinegar, and hence the name literally means vinegar punch. Ponzu is made by simmering mirin, rice vinegar, katsuobushi flakes, and seaweed over medium heat. The liquid is then cooled, strained to remove the katsuobushi flakes, and finally the juice of one or more of the following citrus fruits is added: yuzu, sudachi, daidai, kabosu, or lemon. Commercial ponzu is generally sold in glass bottles, which may have some sediment. Ponzu shoyu is traditionally used as a dressing for tataki, and also as a dip for nabemono such as shabu-shabu. It is used as a dip for sashimi. In the Kansai region, it is offered as a topping for takoyaki.
