S&B's Shichimi Togarashi is Japan's most recognised seven-spice blend, in the compact 15g tabletop format that has been a fixture on Japanese dining tables for decades. The blend combines two types of chilli pepper — roasted and unroasted — for a layered heat and depth of aroma, alongside six other carefully balanced ingredients: dried citrus peel (chinpi), roasted black sesame, Japanese pepper (sansho), hemp seeds, poppy seeds, and green seaweed (aonori). The result is a spice blend with warmth, fragrance, and a slight citrus edge that is quite different from a single-ingredient chilli powder. It is sprinkled over udon and soba noodles, miso soup, grilled chicken, gyudon, yakitori, and tempura — anywhere you want a rounded, savoury heat without the sharp sting of fresh chilli. The flip-top cap makes it easy to control the amount, and the 15g bottle is compact enough to keep on the table or tuck into a bag for a restaurant meal.
