Umakiji Sushi no Moto (Umakiji Sushi Base) is made by simply mixing 40ml of the Umakiji Sushi Base with one cup (180ml) of freshly cooked rice to create delicious sushi with a fragrant yuzu aroma.

In Muro Village, sushi made with yuzu juice has been enjoyed since ancient times.

Each household has inherited a secret recipe over generations, and whenever there is a celebration or gathering, they prepare yuzu sushi.

It is versatile and can be used for nanban-zuke (marinated dishes), pickles, dressings, and more.

Enjoy making hand-rolled sushi together, or chirashi-zushi (scattered sushi) on special celebration days—this is the delicious sushi vinegar of Muro Village.

On celebratory or special days, it is customary in Muro Village to put extra effort into making sushi rich in yuzu flavor.

People in the town who have tasted Muro sushi are often surprised and say, "This is so delicious," and the older women look on happily.

Recreating this proud flavor is what we call "Umakiji Sushi no Moto." Thanks to this, young housewives in Muro have found it much easier.

We hope that households in the town can also find it helpful when making chirashi-zushi or hand-rolled sushi.

Yuzu Cultivation Philosophy

Yuzu has been growing wild in Muro Village for over 800 years.

As forestry declined, new industries were sought, and around 1963 (Showa 38), yuzu trees were gradually planted on terraced fields, beginning full-scale cultivation.

Starting with about ten people, yuzu cultivation has gradually evolved over time, leading to current organic farming practices.

Today, all farmers in Muro Village practice:
- No use of chemical fertilizers
- No use of chemical pesticides
- No use of herbicides

We continue to work with pride, ensuring that Muro Village, its rivers, mountains, and children remain healthy and vibrant, and that the yuzu and natural environment of Muro Village are preserved forever.

Our Approach to Processing

Yuzu product making begins in the fields.

Harvesting is all about freshness.

In November, yuzu that has turned about 70% yellow is considered to have the best aroma; it is not good if it is too green or overripe.

As a dedicated yuzu producer, we practice a "commitment to quality" with 190 yuzu farmers, and we do not cut corners in the primary processing at the village juice extraction factory.

We aim to produce products that are not only delicious but also confidently represent the high quality of Muro yuzu as a premium producer.

Whether we are a manufacturer or a producer, this is our philosophy of processing.
