Shichimi Togarashi is a traditional Japanese spice blend made from seven spices, crafted centuries ago and still cherished today for its bold and complex flavours. The name means “seven spices,” and the mix combines cayenne pepper, white sesame, black sesame, ginger, orange peel, Sichuan pepper and nori seaweed, creating a vibrant balance of heat, citrus and umami.
Known for its distinctive and spicy profile, Shichimi Togarashi is a versatile seasoning that enhances the flavour of grilled dishes and barbecues, such as chicken thighs, fish and vegetables. Traditionally used in ramen, soba, yakitori and rice bowls, it’s also excellent for adding a special touch to mayonnaise, popcorn, crispy tofu or grilled avocado.
A delicious way to enjoy it is by preparing a spicy dip sauce with vinegar, oil and soy sauce, creating a rich and balanced condiment that complements almost any dish.
This blend is perfect for those who appreciate intense flavours and want to add a modern Japanese touch to their cooking. Try The Pinch’s Shichimi Togarashi and discover why it’s one of the most vibrant and exciting seasonings in Asian cuisine.
