In the United States, fresh yuzu is difficult to acquire. The best alternative for the zest of this citrus Japanese fruit is yuzu powder. Yuzu powder is the zest of the fruit, dried and pulverized. Yuzu powder can be used in place of fresh yuzu zest in any recipe. First, you need to read on to know where to get it. Read on to learn how to buy yuzu powder.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Start online, especially if you live in a small town. Use this method only if you can't find a source near you.

  2. Step 2

    Go to the grocery store. Go directly to the aisle designated for international foods. You may find a small bottle of yuzu powder there, or mingled in with the spices on the baking aisle.

  3. Step 3

    Find a Japanese market. This is the best place to go, because it will definitely be in stock. It will also be located in the spice and condiment aisle. Ask someone if you must.

Tips & Warnings
  • Look in the description for a small bottle containing a pale yellow or white powder. If the color is dark yellow, green or brown, then you need to keep searching.
  • A mixture of yuzu powder and water can be used in the place of yuzu juice. Use this only as a quick fix for yuzu juice; the difference will show in the taste.
  • Research the online company before you buy. Some online shops may try to sell you a lemon scented powder in the jar, so watch out.
