Shichimi Togarashi is a common Japanese seasoning made from a mixture of seven (shichi in Japanese) ingredients that has a well-balanced spicy taste and great aroma.

The Japanese seven spice has more than 350 years of history, with a recipe whose origins lie in herbal medicines

The blend of ingredients differs slightly depending on each Shichimi producer. Yawataya Isogoro's Shichimi contains:

1. Chili peppers
2. Spicy Japanese peppers called sansho (sichuan peppers)
3. Ginger
4. Richly flavored hemp seeds
5. Black sesame
6. Dried orange peel
7. Perilla

It comes in a nicely designed retro can that keeps the spice mix fresh

Instructions

Shichimi powder is a versatile seasoning. You can simply sprinkle a small amount of Shichimi on any dish to add aroma and spicy flavor.

It is not only suitable for Japanese dishes, such as soups, soba and udon noodles, but it also goes well with other dishes such as fish, meat, rice and salads.
