Trails to Tsukiji (2015)

Season 4: Episode 22

Native to Japan, like its western counterparts, lemon or lime, sudachi is used as a condiment or for its tangy, aromatic juice and is not consumed as a fruit. Its mellow acidity and aroma add an extra boost to Japanese cuisine. Where it once only grew wild, its popularity has now spread nationwide thanks to the endeavors of one small town. We visit Tokushima Prefecture, the production hub of sudachi, to capture its delicate charm.
