Hey all! I just popped open a fresh bottle of ponzu I got from my local Asian grocer and 1) it popped open pretty aggressively and even had a little water vapor and 2) fizzed when I poured it over my scallions. It tastes and smells normal but I'm still a little nervous about eating it and I just want to know if it is still good and if anyone else has had this happen. I usually buy Kikkoman ponzu so I can't say that it's something that I've had happen before either

I’ve never had fizzing sauce, seems like maybe fermentation has started inside the bottle. That has happened with a few random products in my life involving juice
That’s definitely not supposed to happen. And I don’t mean any offense to anyone, but you generally do have to be more careful with Chinese products than Japanese ones. I would return it.
