- Shichimi is a blend of spices and other seasoning ingredients, widely used in Japanese home cooking. Choose your own ingredients and adjust the spiciness to your preference.
- Make your own blend of this Japanese spice! Shichimi is a seasoning blend of seven ingredients, traditionally including two types of peppers and five other seasoning ingredients. When it was first sold a few centuries ago, it was treated as a herb medicine. There is a wide variety of natural ingredients prepared for you to make your own original shichimi seasoning. Most of the ingredients provided here - chili peppers, iwanori and wakame seaweeds, Japanese pepper, ginger, fukugi spicebush and dried yuzu citrus - are grown and harvested on Chiburijima Island.
Shichimi seasoning consists of two spicy ingredients and five "aromatic" ingredients. You can pick the ingredients according to the taste and fragrance theme you like. How about using it when cooking Japanese dishes at home? You can also add it to a soup, sauce or dip to enhance the flavour.
