Sudachi
Whilst uncommon overseas, here, sudachi is a cheaper alternative to the lime. It is quite similar in taste and smell, perhaps stronger. They are smaller than my impression of a lime. When in season, usual fayre get a dressing, as do chūhais.
Supermarkets prices equate to:
One imported lime = three imported lemons
Three imported lemons = six sudachi

Wow, I’ve lived in Japan for 6 years and never had a sudachi. I’ll definitely have to check that out.
I wonder if they’ll work well as a lime-substitute in cooking.
by the way, I think your comment page is broken, all the styles for the “Leave a Comment” form don’t show up in Firefox, and the input boxes have no borders… I had to guess where they were and just click blindly.

I guess sudachi is more alike the lime than kabosu which is worth a mention.
Thanks for the tip. It could be the numerous updates. More likely to have broken it myself.
