When did yuzu first show up in Hobart cafes?

What is in a yuzu espresso tonic?

A typical yuzu espresso tonic, drawn from Hobart cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with citrus wheel (a slice of yuzu or lemon on the rim), espresso (a double shot poured slowly over the ice so it floats), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured), tonic water (about 150 ml, poured gently to keep the bubbles) and yuzu syrup (or a spoonful of yuzu marmalade, about 20 ml). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe.

How does The Froth count this?

A cafe counts for yuzu from the first Google review we found that mentions it, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. Shares are of the cafes we see well: those with a current menu in the same 90 days, a chain counting once. A change compares the same cafes in the last 90 days with the 90 before, only among cafes we have followed through both, so newly added cafes never look like growth. The 90 days end on the latest day with new reviews or menus (13 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Hobart with all of a trend's names added up.
