There are other kind of yuzu product,
Yuzu vinegar- A simple vinegar made with yuzu. Use the vinegar for marinades and salad dressings.
Yuzu paste - Yuzu paste is highly salted and also contains chile so it has a delightfully pungent flavor and a nice little kick. It is a traditional accompaniment to sushi. Also can be added to noodle dishes or soups.
Yuzu powder - Dehydrated yuzu rind. While it can be reconstituted and used as a replacement for fresh or bottle yuzu juice the latest trend is to use the powder to dust over various foods from tartare to desserts. A light dusting right before the final presentation adds just a hint of flavor.
