Our Shichimi Togarashi (Seven Spice) draws from the traditional Japanese idea of balancing multiple spice elements rather than adhering to a fixed, universal recipe. While the name translates to “seven spices,” the exact components have always varied by region and maker. Our version blends sesame seeds, chiles, poppy seeds, paprika, ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, and toasted seaweed to create a salt-free seasoning that’s nutty, briny, gently spicy, and aromatic. It’s a classic Japanese table seasoning suited for ramen, udon, yakitori, grilled meats, and vegetables.
