Yawataya Isogoro Yuzu Shichimi Togarashi Seven Spice Blend Tin 12g

Yawataya Isogoro has been blending shichimi togarashi — Japan's iconic seven-spice mixture — at the gates of Zenkoji Temple in Nagano (near Tokyo) since 1736, making it one of the oldest and most respected spice producers in the country. Their Yuzu Shichimi replaces the conventional orange peel of a standard blend with yuzu zest, which gives the mixture a distinctly floral, citrus brightness alongside the warmth of chilli, the earthiness of black and white sesame, and the gentle numbing tingle of Japanese sansho pepper. The result is a lighter, more fragrant shichimi than the classic variety — exceptional sprinkled over udon, soba, hot pot, yakitori, and miso soup. The small tin keeps the spices fresh and makes a considered gift for anyone with an interest in Japanese cooking.
