This shichimi chili pepper is made with generous amounts of Tokuyama chili peppers from Gifu Prefecture and mandarin oranges grown in Japan, and features a sweet, refreshing citrus aroma. Dried at low temperatures for extended periods, the ingredients’ aromas are maximized. The Tokuyama chili peppers are 1.6 times spicier than regular chili peppers, delivering a robust spiciness. Sprinkle it on your food to release the sweet, refreshing mandarin orange aroma. It pairs well with a wide range of dishes, from everyday home cooking to Japanese staples like miso soup, udon, and soba, as well as Western and Chinese cuisine.
