  Nice! We have kabosu available every winter as they're grown a lot in Oita Prefecture. They can be used like limes or lemons - great for drinks! I've used the juice in salad dressings and sauces and my husband made 'kabosu-shu' last winter. You can also squeeze a little of the juice into eggs before scrambling to make them fluffier, if you make eggs.

  I've heard it can be used in Filipino cooking such as Filipino pork chops or beefsteak. Someone's told me that it can be an acceptable substitute for calamansi.

  I second the idea of using them in salad dressings, but also cutting slices of them and putting them into cold ramen soup (hiyashi chuuka) for an extra citrus kick.

  @PDecs Ah! I’m going to try this with fish and meat. And Today I Learned there’s a similar citrus, calamansi.

  @helloalissa The egg trick sounds great. Right now, I usually mix a tablespoon of coconut milk and a dash of soy sauce in my scrambled. Maybe a squeeze of kabosu juice next time.

  I've heard of it being used in soup broths as a way to cut some of the richness, but I haven't personally used it myself! Love the idea Alissa suggested about salad dressing, I think they'd bring a lot of zest (no pun intended!) to a salad.

  @TonetoEdo Your coconut milk with eggs routine sounds like it would be yummy ... I want to try that together with kabosu juice sometime.
