[Kishu Sansho] Ripe Red Sansho/Sansho Powder 100g

Grape sansho, a specialty of Kishu, is renowned as the highest quality sansho.
With its fleshy berries, mellow fragrance, and strong spiciness, budo sansho has been used as a spice and herbal medicine since ancient times.
Unlike green sansho, which is harvested in early summer, red sansho is left on the tree until it turns red, and then harvested by hand in autumn.

Because the number of farmers who harvest red sansho is limited, fully ripe red sansho pepper rarely appears on the market, making it a rare commodity.
Compared to green sansho, fully ripe red sansho is less bitter and harsh, and has a refreshing, numbing taste. It has a refined and clean spiciness and a slightly fruity and sweet aroma.
Incorporating sansho into your daily meals will help relieve indigestion and regulate your stomach and intestines. Fully ripened red sansho is a versatile spice that can be used not only for grilled eel, but also for any dish, whether Japanese, Western, or Chinese. It goes well with greasy dishes such as yakitori, fried chicken, tempura, and steak, and its unique flavor and spiciness adds variety to the taste of the dish. It is also recommended for light dishes such as tofu dishes, boiled pork, udon, and soba.
The red pepper berries are dried, crushed, and turned into powder, so it is ready to use immediately.


*Fully ripe sansho pepper is sansho pepper that has turned red and is harvested after September.
*Dried sansho pepper is usually harvested while still green in July or August.
