Ponzu is a citrus soy sauce, and a simple version is just soy sauce, rice vinegar and citrus juice mixed together, ready in a couple of minutes. Bottled versions add dashi and mirin for extra depth, but the basic ratio works fine for most meals.

FAQ
How long does homemade ponzu keep?
About a week in the fridge in a sealed jar, the citrus flavour fades a little over time.
Can you use bottled lemon juice?
Fresh is better for flavour, but bottled works in a pinch, the sauce will taste slightly flatter.
Is ponzu the same as soy sauce?
No, it is soy sauce with citrus and vinegar added, which makes it sharper and lighter than soy sauce alone.
