Togarashi Japanese 7 Spice Blend
Togarashi, also known as Shichimi, is one of the most iconic and beloved spice blends in traditional Japanese cooking. The name “Shichimi” literally means “seven flavors” in Japanese, reflecting its unique composition of carefully balanced ingredients:
Red chili pepper, Japanese pepper (sansho), dried orange peel, black & white sesame seeds, nori (seaweed), ginger, and poppy seeds. This blend offers a mild heat, citrusy aroma, and a deep umami flavor profile that elevates both everyday dishes and gourmet creations.
Formulated by Tuna Spice, this Togarashi blend respects the traditional Shichimi recipe while being optimized for European and global palates. A harmonious balance of spicy, citrusy, umami, and earthy notes, it enhances everything from classic Japanese dishes to modern fusion cuisine.
Perfect for udon, ramen, noodle bowls, soups, and fried recipes. Also ideal as a flavorful finishing touch on avocado toast, eggs, edamame, and vegetable dishes.
