Black Sesame & Sanshó Shichimi Spice Powder

What is Shichimi and Why is Ours Extra Special?

Shichimi is a traditional Japanese seasoning blend that skillfully brings together up to seven (shichi) spices (mi) to create a harmonious balance of flavors. While many shichimi blends on the market rely on mass-produced ingredients, resulting in a generic taste, we set out to create something truly exceptional. Our shichimi is crafted with premium ingredients that are incredibly rare, even in Japan! This blend isn't just about overwhelming heat—it's about delivering layers of complex flavors and captivating aromas that elevate your cooking to new heights. 

Sansho Shichimi With Black Sesame & Togarashi

Our sansho shichimi features hand-roasted black sesame seeds combined with hontaka chili pepper, a heirloom variety from over 400 years ago, harvested in Kagawa Prefecture. It is Japan's oldest chili pepper and adds a light spiciness that doesn't linger. To introduce a layer of complexity we've added budo sansho peppers from the Kishu region, a premium varietal known for its bright, green aroma and a slightly tingling, numbing sensation. We've blended poppy seed, hemp seed and shiso leaf to create a rich, black seasoning like no other. 

Crafted with a focus on balanced heat, flavor, and fragrance, we fell in love with this elegant blend as it effortlessly enhances your favorite dishes with unique depth and character with just a few shakes.
