【Kishu Sansho】Garlic Sansho Spice Blend 5g | Japanese Pepper & Garlic Seasoning

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.
