Sansho Peppercorns Simmered in Brine (45g)

Freshly harvested green sansho berries are carefully prepared and gently simmered in brine, locking in their refreshing citrus aroma and signature tingling heat. Bottled for long-lasting freshness, this delicacy allows you to enjoy the short seasonal bounty of sansho throughout the year.

Sansho Tsukudani (50g)

• As a topping for ochazuke, tofu, or pickles
