The Tokuda green onion used is a traditional vegetable from Mino, Gifu Prefecture. It is characterized by its soft, sweet taste without the typical strong flavor of green onions. The sweet, mild Tokuda green onion is dried at low temperatures for extended periods for a long time, preserving its flavor. This shichimi pepper offers umami, savory flavor, and a spicy kick. It is recommended for grilled dishes, soups, and a wide range of other home-cooked dishes, from yakitori, egg dishes, yakisoba, stir-fried vegetables, and fried rice to miso soup and sukiyaki. It can also be used as a condiment.
