Kishu Sansho Tsukudani 50g Jar | Japanese Pepper Simmered Condiment from Wakayama
Fragrant Kishu Sansho Tsukudani – A Premium Japanese Pepper Simmered Delicacy
This artisanal Tsukudani is made with an abundance of Kishu Budō Sansho, the prized Japanese pepper from Wakayama, Japan. Known as the “Green Diamond” for its large berries, refreshing citrus aroma, and tingling spiciness, Kishu Sansho is regarded as one of the finest spices in Japan. By simmering it into a rich Tsukudani, you can enjoy its unique flavor all year round.
Crafted with Yuasa White Soy Sauce
To enhance the fresh aroma of the Sansho berries, this Tsukudani is simmered with Yuasa white soy sauce, a specialty from the birthplace of soy sauce. The mellow and refined flavor of the sauce blends beautifully with the vibrant aroma of fresh Sansho. Slowly cooked over low heat, the berries become tender and flavorful, with no bitterness—just the clean, sophisticated heat of premium Sansho.
Enjoy the Taste of Fresh Sansho Year-Round
Sansho berries can only be harvested in early summer, making them a seasonal delicacy that quickly disappears from the market. With this Tsukudani, however, you can savor the refreshing aroma and tingling spice of freshly picked Sansho any time of year, carefully preserved at peak freshness.
Versatile Serving Ideas
Kishu Sansho Tsukudani is a versatile condiment that elevates both everyday meals and special dishes:
-
Serve over freshly steamed rice for a burst of flavor
-
Add to ochazuke for a refreshing finish
-
Pair with chilled tofu or sashimi as a zesty accent
-
Mix into fried rice, pasta, or marinades for a spicy twist
-
Cook with rice for aromatic Sansho Takikomi Gohan (seasoned rice)
When added to rice, soups, or side dishes, the gentle yet invigorating aroma of Sansho transforms simple meals into a gourmet experience.
Traditional Craftsmanship
Preparing Sansho requires careful processing to remove harshness while preserving its bright, citrus-like fragrance. This Tsukudani is made using traditional methods with carefully balanced seasonings: Yuasa white soy sauce, Japanese sake, mirin, and natural dashi from bonito, mackerel, sardine, horse mackerel, kelp, and shiitake mushrooms. The result is a delicately balanced condiment that highlights the true essence of Sansho.
