[Kishu Sansho] Spicy Sansho Chili Powder / Extreme Heat Futami Blend – Mini Pack (25 Sachets)

Kishu Wakayama Specialty: A Perfect Blend of Sansho and Japanese Chili Peppers

From the long-established Yamamoto Katsunosuke Shoten (founded in 1880), we present a premium spice crafted with Kishu Budo Sansho—a prized Japanese pepper from Wakayama—and domestically grown Japanese chili peppers (Takanotsume).
The refreshing, citrus-like fragrance of sansho combines with the sharp heat of chili to create an invigorating seasoning that awakens the appetite.

What Makes Kishu Budo Sansho Unique

Kishu Wakayama is Japan’s leading sansho production region, and its Budo Sansho is considered the highest grade. Known as the “Green Diamond,” it features large, plump berries, an intensely fragrant aroma, and a signature tingling spiciness. Blended with the piercing heat of Japanese chili, it delivers a one-of-a-kind balance of fragrance, freshness, and fiery heat.

For Spice Lovers: “Futami” (Two Flavors)

This special seasoning is called Futami, meaning “two flavors,” as it perfectly fuses the tingling freshness of sansho and the piercing heat of chili.
Unlike ordinary chili powders, it leaves a refreshing aftertaste while delivering bold spice—ideal for true chili enthusiasts as well as those looking to elevate everyday meals with a kick of heat.

The mini pack sachets (0.2g × 25) ensure each serving stays fresh and fragrant. Compact and portable, they’re convenient for home, work lunches, picnics, or travel—making it easy to add authentic spice anytime.

A Versatile Spice for Any Cuisine

“Futami” enhances a wide variety of dishes across Japanese, Western, and Asian cuisines:

• Chinese dishes: Mapo tofu, chili shrimp, dandan noodles, kimchi hot pot

• Japanese classics: Oden, cold shabu, soba, udon, oyakodon, yakitori, grilled eel

• Western meals: Curries, hamburg steaks, grilled chicken, steak, pasta

• Fried foods: Karaage, croquettes, tonkatsu, tempura, French fries

Sansho’s citrusy fragrance balances oiliness, leaving even heavy dishes refreshing and light.

Creative Uses in Sauces & Condiments

This seasoning isn’t just for sprinkling—it also transforms sauces:

• Mix with mayonnaise for a spicy dipping sauce

• Add to okonomiyaki or takoyaki sauce for a Kansai-style twist

• Blend with BBQ sauce or yakiniku tare for depth and heat

• Enhance sesame dressing or ponzu for salads and chilled tofu

Just a small amount dramatically elevates flavor, turning everyday meals into gourmet spice creations.

Health Benefits of Sansho & Chili

Traditionally, sansho has been valued in Japanese herbal medicine for aiding digestion and stimulating appetite. Chili peppers are known to boost metabolism and circulation. Together, they create a seasoning that is not only delicious but also supports wellness.
