The green one is YUZU KOSHO. YUZU is a Japanese citrus fruit with nice sour scent, while KOSHO means pepper. YUZU KOSHO add wonderful flavour (and scent ) to KYUSHU FOOD, such as TETSUNABE-GYOZA, MOTSU-NABE, MEN-CHANKO, MIZU-TAKI, YAKI-TORI, or simply to TOFU. And I especially recommend this YUZU KOSHO for your souvenior :>


ACCESS

To visit Hita, there’s an express bus from Fukuoka Airport / Hakata Station. It takes a little more than an hour from the Airport, and some more from Hakata Station.
