Shichimi Togarashi

Spicy, zesty, umami, this exquisite multi-purpose condiment and seasoning is a Japanese staple. ‘Shichi’ is Japanese for seven, ‘mi’ means flavour/ taste, and ‘Togarashi’ is Chilli pepper – seven flavoured chillies! Traditionally used to flavour udon, miso, ramen, nabemono (one-pot dishes) and yakitori, Shichimi Togarashi is now used to pack a spicy and nutritional punch to simple seasonal dishes.

Spice Zen’s Shichimi Togarashi is a premium, certified organic, gluten-free, vibrant spice blend with warmth from chilli and Szechuan pepper, spicy citrusy from ginger, poppy seed and umami crunchiness from nori and sesame seeds. Sprinkle over ramen, udon noodles, miso, steamed rice, edamame, grilled meats, seafood, add to tempura batter and salad dressing or jazz up your avocado toast, popcorn, fries or crackers.

Don’t forget to dip the rim of your cocktail glass into Spice Zen’s Shichimi Togarashi blend for an Japanese inspired Bloody Mary!

Shichimi Togarashi has its inspiration from oriental herbal medicine (kanpō). It is believed to be perfect during warm weather as capsaicin in chilli, the main ingredient of the seasoning, has appetite and immunity boosting as well as digestive properties.
