Can it be limited to Kyoto-grown?<\/h3>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A. Yes. However, since Kyoto-grown yuzu is limited in harvest volume, for projects with large annual requirements, consulting us by the pre-harvest season (July\u2013September) makes stable securing easier.<\/p>   <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q. Can it be blended with other citrus powders?<\/h3>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A. Yes. We can propose blend designs with citrus powders such as lemon, mikan, and shikuwasa, or with other materials from<a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/powder\/\" data-type=\"link\">Vegetable powder list<\/a>.<\/p>   <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q. Can you issue a raw-material origin certificate?<\/h3>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A. We issue both a certificate of origin proving the material is Kyoto-grown yuzu and a microbiological test report, in consultation on a per-project basis.<\/p>   <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q. What's the lead time?<\/h3>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A. When in stock, shipment is possible in 2\u20133 weeks.
