This Nearly Forgotten Japanese Food Takes Over 2 Months to Make (Miso Yubeshi)

Miso yubeshi (味噌柚餅子) is a nearly forgotten Japanese winter preservation made from whole yuzu citrus, sweetened miso, and time. In this video, I show you step-by-step how to make traditional miso yubeshi, a regional Japanese food that slowly dries for more than two months until it becomes deeply aromatic and intensely savory. Come join me in my quiet kitchen while I reflect on life whilst preparing this beautiful traditionally preserved food. Unlike the sweet rice confection many people associate with yubeshi, this version preserves an entire yuzu by filling it with miso, gently steaming it, and hanging it to dry through the winter air. The result is a concentrated slice of citrus, umami, and salt that has been enjoyed for generations in rural Japan. I’ve lived in Japan for more than a decade, and what continues to fascinate me is how many traditional preservation techniques are quietly disappearing. Making foods like miso yubeshi reminds me that fermentation and preservation are not just cooking techniques - they are ways of slowing down and connecting to seasonality. In this video you'll learn: • How to hollow out a yuzu without tearing the peel • How to prepare the traditional miso filling • The gentle steaming method used in Japan • How to dry yubeshi properly over several weeks • Ways to serve and enjoy it once it's ready If you're interested in Japanese fermentation, traditional Japanese food culture, slow cooking, and seasonal preservation, this recipe is a beautiful one to try.
