Yuzu is the Japanese pronunciation of the same Chinese characters. Although a true Japanese yuzu is smaller and not as readily edible as pomelo, they have the similar citrus aroma and taste derived from the peels. We apologize for the confusion.

Comparing youzi I bought in China to pomelo bought in the US leads me to believe they are the same or extremely similar. Therefore, I took "yuzu" to be a Cantonese or Taiwanese spelling of youzi.
