Shichimi Togarashi encompasses the essence of Japanese cuisine. It contains seven bold ingredients: red chillies, orange peel, black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds, sansho pepper, ginger and nori flakes. “Shichi” means seven in Japanese, referring to the seven spices typically used in the blend. These ingredients work in perfect harmony to add colour, flavour and balanced heat to dishes.
Shichimi Togarashi is also known as Nanami Togarashi, Japanese seven spice, seven spice powder or Japanese seven pepper spice. It has a long history in Japan that dates back to the 17th century, when it was created during the Edo period, quickly gaining popularity as a condiment to be used in noodle shops and street food vendors. For those looking to add an authentic Japanese flavour profile to their dishes, this is the seasoning you want.
Use this Japanese spice mix to flavour soups, udon and soba noodles, yakiniku, rice and sushi rolls. Learn more about this Japanese staple on our blog here.
Try mixing it through some yoghurt to make dips, or sprinkle over fried potatoes and even freshly made popcorn! Want to learn more?

Wowzer! The best ST mix ever! So many layers of flavour, the heat of the chilli, sesame’s nuttiness, zesty citrus peel & the umami of the nori…to name but a few!. But then, Japanese cuisine probably is the most nuanced in the world.
Wonderful as a “rub” for marinating fish & seafood before cooking, it’s also great for sprouts, cauliflower, celeriac, parsnips & carrots etc. Just trim, peel or chop as required, spray with oil, toss in the ST mix, then roast…heavenly!.
No wonder Seasoned Pioneers are a Delia recommend in her “How To Cheat At Cooking”!

First time to use this spice. Fantastic flavour. Used it on veg for the BBQ. Will try it on steak next. Also used it on fish, perfect.

Excellent flavour, use sparingly at first as is very fiery. Can always add little more if you like.

This is a really great zesty and hot spice and has become a bit of a staple in my quasi Japanese cooking (ie my Wagamama cookbook)
