The Japanese have eggs that smell and taste like their favorite citrus fruit – yuzu.
Yuzutama eggs look like regular eggs, but they smell and taste like a popular Japanese fruit. So if you love eggs and fruit, maybe you should consider moving to the land of the rising sun?
Special diet for chickens
Yuzutama eggs are laid by hens from Yamasaki Farm, on the southwest coast of Shikoku Island. A special diet is developed for the hens, consisting of yuzu peel, kale, sesame seeds, and corn. The yuzu peel changes the eggs' aroma and flavor.
Yuzu fruit
The yuzu fruit is considered a hybrid of the sour mandarin and Ichang papeda. It is popular in Japanese cuisine and is often used as a lemon substitute in desserts. It is characterized by a strongly floral aroma that combines the scents of all citrus fruits.
Fresh, citrus egg scent
Japanese engineers have significantly reduced the characteristic fishy odor in eggs. They've managed to "dress" the eggs in a refreshing citrus aroma. Yuzutama eggs have a sweet and rich flavor, and their aroma stimulates the appetite. They can be served in a variety of ways.
