A Unique Fusion of Kishu Sansho and Japanese Garlic

From Kishu Wakayama, Japan’s premier region for sansho (Japanese pepper), comes an exceptional seasoning that combines the vibrant aroma of Budo Sansho with the deep umami of garlic.
Budo Sansho, known as the “Green Diamond”, produces large, grape-like clusters of berries with an intense fragrance and a tingling, citrus-like spiciness. By blending this prized spice with Japanese garlic—renowned for its stamina-boosting properties—we have created a bold and versatile seasoning called Garlic Sansho.


Health Benefits of Sansho and Garlic

  • Sansho (Japanese Pepper): Traditionally used in herbal medicine for centuries, sansho is valued for its digestive benefits, appetite stimulation, and refreshing aroma.

  • Garlic: A superfood long associated with fatigue recovery and vitality, garlic contains allicin and other compounds that help support overall wellness.

Together, they form a flavorful yet health-supportive seasoning that enhances both taste and lifestyle.


Flavor Profile

  • Bright citrus-like aroma from Kishu Budo Sansho

  • Tingling, numbing spice on the tongue

  • Rich umami depth from Japanese garlic

  • Cleansing aftertaste that balances heavy dishes


How to Use Garlic Sansho

This seasoning is incredibly versatile and works across Japanese, Western, and Asian cuisines:

  • Meat dishes: Sprinkle over steak, hamburg steak, fried chicken, or pork cutlets for a punch of flavor.

  • Ramen & dumplings: The umami of garlic and the spice of sansho elevate noodle soups and gyoza dipping sauces.

  • Seafood: Add to grilled or simmered fish to neutralize odors and enhance freshness.

  • Sauce enhancer: Mix into mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, or yakiniku sauce for an instant gourmet dip.

  • Fried foods: Use on tempura, karaage, or French fries to cut through oiliness and refresh the palate.

Just a pinch transforms everyday meals into something extraordinary.
