House - Shichimi Togarashi - Japanese Mixed Chili Pepper 0.63 Oz

I've never had anything quite like it, but it's a great blend of spices! In terms of spiciness, it's something I like and can handle (I'm not a fan of spicy food), and my husband enjoys (he loves spicy food). I use it in tuna/mayo filling for onigiri with a dash of siracha and do not have to adjust the spice levels between our lunches. Very unique, and allows you to still taste what you're eating.

Hard to describe this spice—mild to medium heat with a suble seet and sout taste.

This is such a delicious spicy seasoning! First had it in Okinawa 30 years ago. It's still a great seasoning! Even rimmed a glass with it for a Bloody Mary! 😋

Good taste. Amazing on popcorn.

Good product. Brand name

Not too hot but it is spicy! Save your empty shaker bottles and refill them when empty. With a bulk refill bag (available from Amazon), also from House in Tokyo, I think you can fill about 18 individual bottles for the price of about 3 or 4 individual bottles - a real savings. The bottle is important as the contents are hot and there is a single hole about 3/16 of an inch in diameter in the white interior cap under the red exterior cap.. You need a big enough hole for the sesame seeds to come through, but not so large that the seasoning flows out profusely. In the past (until the late 90's), until the Feds noticed it, this seasoning mix also used to contain black hemp seeds. These seeds were larger and provide a "crunch" to the seasoning. mix. It still tastes great even with the hemp seeds. At last checking, it still contains hemp seeds for the rest of the world. What do I use this on? Wherever I would use black pepper but want more "bite". I use it on/in soups, stews, tuna salad, egg salad (and all such salads), green vegetables, green salads, sliced cucumbers, chicken and pork, mashed potatoes, KFC chicken, and on and on. I used to buy this at my favorite sushi restaurant where there was a bottle on every table. The bottle is only about 3 1/2 inches tall by 1 3/8 inches wide so it is "suitable for table service" and easy to handle and hold. I used to pay $5.00 for each bottle from that restaurant back in the late 1990's. Delivery of the Amazon product will take a bit of time as bottle come directly from the seller in Japan - well packaged in bubble wrap. Expiration date was out 2 years in the future. Gave a bottle to a little old lady neighbor who told me her food was tasting tasteless and boring and she was worried. She objected to my gift saying she would never use this spicy seasoning. I said I would leave it there until I ran out and needed it (not true). A couple of months later I asked her for her full and unused bottle. She looked down and said quietly that the bottle was empty, it was now her favorite seasoning, and her grocery store did not carry it, and she did not know what to do (since I needed it back). I laughed and said I had plenty and I would refill her empty bottle immediately. She smiled and said "Thank You". Highly Recommended! You will literally fine hundred of uses for it. Remember, slightly hot with a little bite but not too much bite.

I LOVE this stuff! I buy it regularly just for my use but since I’ve been using it my son, his girlfriend and her family have all started using it. The blend has an earthy, savory flavor. The heat is similar to very fine crushed red peppers. It’s much easier to control the depth of the heat because of how finely it is crushed. I don’t detect salt flavor at all. It’s a bit pricey, not horribly, and well worth it.

Added spice to food.almost to hot for me. Neighbor loved it. Gave jit to him. He enjoyed it.

Product as advertised

Habe dieses Gewürz in einem Rezept für Okonomiyaki gesehen. Ich muss sagen: Dieser "Pfeffer" gibt dem Ganzen tatsächlich den letzten Pfiff.

No apto para bocas sensibles. Es un picante muy picante! I love it!

I read about this in a food magazine and was curious - and I’m glad I bought some because it’s so tasty! Perfect for sprinkling on ramen and stir fries. It’s pretty hot, so be careful.

Ce mélange de 7 épices japonaises se compose de piment rouge, zestes de mandarine ou d'orange, de graines de sésame, de pavot somnifère et de chanvre, du nori ou de l'aonori (algues séchées), du sanshō, sorte de poivre du Sichuan japonais. Il assaisonne et parfume viandes grillées, oeufs, poissons, fruits de mer, riz, nouilles, soupes et certains légumes. Par exemple, dans une salade à base de poivrons, il donne du pep’s, passe très bien avec l'avocat pour en faire un guacamole différent. On l'aime beaucoup dans les pommes de terre sautées. Pour mes grillades estivales, il ajoute une note pimentée à mes marinades de poulet ou de boeuf. Bien que cela ne soit pas son usage traditionnel, on peut tout à fait l'employer dans l'élaboration d'autres plats.... Personnellement, avec ce shichimi yogarashi, je n'ajoute pas de sel. Bien évidemment, il faut doser selon que l'on aime moins ou très pimenté. Seul problème : le flacon est minuscule 17 gr. En peu de temps, j'en suis déjà à ma deuxième commande. Je l'ai acheté chez 2 vendeurs JAPAN-SUBCULTURES au prix de 4,91€, puis chez ietomo shop au prix de 3,37€ qui est moins cher. Il ne faut pas être pressé pour les recevoir, minimum 20 jours.
