SHICHIMI TOGARASHI MIXTURE

Shichimi togarashi has its roots in the Edo period and was perfected in Tokyo as an intense table seasoning. Our version combines traditional craftsmanship with carefully selected ingredients: dried seaweed, sun-dried orange granules and freshly roasted black sesame are gently mixed, and sansho and chili pepper are added in balanced amounts. Each batch is made in small lots so that the textures and aromas — crunchy sesame seeds, citrusy dried orange and savory seaweed — are preserved at their best.

Powerfully hot, yet lively and fresh: the citrus notes of the orange lift the heat, sansho creates a slightly tingling sensation in the mouth, seaweed brings salty umami depth and black sesame rounds things off with nutty warmth. The heat is present but controlled — more lively than burning — and creates a complex, layered flavor profile.

A pinch is enough: perfect over udon, ramen, yakitori or rice bowls. Excellent for finishing soups, grilled vegetables and avocado toast. Can also be used as a finish for pan-fried fish fillets or in dips with soy sauce and sesame oil.

Traditionally, shichimi stands for the balance of seven different flavors. Our blend places special emphasis on texture — roasted sesame and orange zest provide crunch and freshness, while seaweed lays the umami foundation. Shichimi was originally an everyday seasoning; here we carry that practice over into a modern, finely balanced version for the discerning kitchen.
