Hebesu
When squeezed firmly, an amazing amount of juice gushes out. A refreshing aroma rises softly, and just a single squeeze over a dish feels like a summer breeze blowing through. It pairs perfectly with everything—grilled fish, sashimi, and even alcohol. Hebesu is an acidic citrus fruit born in Hyuga City, Miyazaki Prefecture. It is said that toward the end of the Edo period, a local man named Chosokabe Heibei found it in the mountains and began growing it in his garden; thus, it came to be called 'Heibei-san's Vinegar,' or 'Hebesu.' Compared to Sudachi or Kabosu, it has fewer seeds and more juice due to its thinner peel. The acidity is mild, and the aroma is gentle and elegant. A treasure of Hyuga that brightens any dining table with a single squeeze.
