A bold fusion of premium Japanese sansho and chili pepper from Wakayama

A Unique Blend of Kishu Sansho and Japanese Chili

Wakayama Prefecture is Japan’s leading producer of sansho, and its Kishu Budō Sansho is considered the finest variety. Known as the “Green Diamond”, this large-grained sansho is prized for its citrus-like fragrance and tongue-tingling spiciness.

This special spice blend, Sansho Chili Powder Futami, combines the refreshing aroma and numbing heat of Kishu sansho with the sharp, fiery bite of Japanese takanotsume chili peppers. The result is a powerful, addictive seasoning that spice lovers will not want to miss.

Perfect for Spicy Food Lovers

“Futami” is a versatile Japanese spice blend that elevates almost any dish. Its bold aroma and layered heat awaken the appetite and transform everyday meals into something extraordinary.

  • Chinese cuisine: Mapo tofu, ebi chili, tantanmen

  • Japanese cuisine: Oden, cold shabu, udon, soba, oyakodon, yakitori, unagi kabayaki

  • Western cuisine: Steak, pasta, grilled vegetables

  • Home cooking: Miso soup, potato salad, fried rice

Just a pinch is enough to balance flavors and create a depth of taste that lingers.

Add a Spicy Twist to Fried Foods and Sauces

“Futami” pairs exceptionally well with fried and rich foods:

  • Sprinkle on croquettes, karaage, tonkatsu, or tempura

  • Toss with French fries for spicy potato fries

  • Mix into condiments for instant flavor upgrades:

    • Spicy mayo dip

    • Extra kick in okonomiyaki sauce or yakiniku tare

    • Bold BBQ sauce with a Japanese twist

Its clean aftertaste means it doesn’t overwhelm but instead enhances the natural flavors of your food.

Tradition Meets Quality – Kishu Sansho × Takanotsume Chili

  • Kishu Budō Sansho: Refreshing citrus fragrance, numbing spice

  • Japanese Takanotsume Chili: Bright red color, sharp fiery heat

Together they create a seasoning that is not just “spicy,” but also layered with freshness, depth, and umami.

A Healthy Japanese Spice

Sansho has long been valued in traditional Japanese medicine for aiding digestion and stimulating appetite. Chili peppers are known to boost metabolism and circulation. This blend supports both flavor and wellness, making it a perfect addition to your everyday meals.
