Details
A flavoured oil from Tsuno Foods, a rice bran oil producer in Wakayama. It is made with budo sansho Japanese pepper from Wakayama whose berries have been allowed to ripen until they turn fully red.
Fully ripened sansho loses its sharp edge and develops a richer, cleaner aroma. Its tingle is gentle, making it an easy introduction for anyone new to sansho. The clean-tasting rice bran oil base brings out the flavour of other ingredients.
How to enjoy:
Drizzle over chilled tofu, white fish carpaccio or steamed vegetables with a pinch of salt. It is a lovely finishing touch for grilled pork, chicken or steak, and a fragrant alternative to condiments for udon or somen noodles. Mix with ponzu or soy sauce for an aromatic gyoza dipping sauce.
