Beware the Anthropomorphic Yuzu of Doom

$18 is a lot of money for 500 ml of something that isn’t merely suggestive of, or even redolent of, but just plain smells like acetone. Get me a bottle of Sally Hansen nail polish remover and half a grapefruit and I’ll show you some “yuzu wine.”

As for my impulse purchase of a Chinese-made, pseudo-Japanese product from a Polish grocery store, what can I say? The slightly deranged yuzu man with the power of speech was very persuasive.
