This 7-spices mixture is a blend of:
- Red peppers
- Sansho pepper
- Roasted orange peel
- Yellow and black poppy seeds
- Nori flakes
- Ginger
A sprinkle or two brings out the very clean flavors of Japanese food, without masking or overpowering them. It is also a popular foil for fatty and deep fried foods like shabu-shabu and eel. Try stirring some into noodle dishes, or shaking a bit over rice.

Go to Uchitomi, Mikado Japanese grocery stores or even at Manor Food.
