S&B Shichimi Togarashi: seven-spice chilli blend for udon, yakitori, rice bowls and grilled fish. Single 300 g pack from Japan.
Shichimi togarashi means seven-flavour chilli, and S&B's blend combines chilli pepper with sansho, sesame, green laver, dried orange peel, hemp seed and poppy seed. The chilli brings heat, sansho a light tingle and orange peel a citrus lift. Sprinkle it over udon and soba, yakitori, grilled fish, gyudon and other rice bowls, or onto miso soup and karaage. Outside Japanese food, it adds a fragrant kick to roast potatoes, popcorn and avocado toast. Add it at the table or just before serving so the aroma stays fresh. Keep the pack sealed, as the citrus and sansho notes fade with air. This listing is a single 300 g pack of S&B Shichimi Togarashi. A small dish of it on the table lets diners add as much heat as they like, and it also pairs well with butter on grilled corn.
