Yui Shichimi
Japanese Seven Spice Blend
"Shichimi" means seven spices. Sansho and aosa are two distinct ingredients here — Japanese pepper and a delicate green seaweed.
A seven-spice blend built around YUIICHIMI chilli, carefully balanced with yuzu peel, sansho, ginger, sesame and aonori. Layered, savoury and aromatic, it works in broths, soups and as a finishing spice for restaurant plates.

PRODUCER'S VOICE
It took a year and a half to find seven ingredients I was truly happy with, and just as much care to settle the grind and the blend. This is the shichimi I poured everything into.
