Community Cookbook: Tonchin’s Near and Far Yuzu Lemonade

Tonchin (109 N. 3rd St.) is a Japanese restaurant in Williamsburg that opened this past summer and recently collaborated with Japanese condiment brand Cabi for their first pop-up. 

For this week’s Community Cookbook recipe, Tonchin has shared its recipe for Near and Far Yuzu Lemonade, which the Tonchin owners lovingly refer to as a drink where “Tokyo and Williamsburg collide with love.”
