S&B Kona Sansho Japanese Pepper Powder 8g

Sansho (山椒), or Japanese pepper, is a classic aromatic spice from Japan, closely related to the Sichuan peppercorn. This finely ground powder from S&B delivers a unique citrusy aroma and a tingling, numbing sensation on the tongue, which is distinct from the heat of chilli peppers. It is an essential seasoning for enhancing the flavour of grilled eel (unagi), yakitori chicken skewers, and rich noodle soup broths like ramen or udon. To use, simply sprinkle a small amount over your finished dish just before serving to preserve its delicate fragrance and potent flavour. Storing it in a cool, dark place will help maintain its freshness. This spice is a staple in Japanese pantries and is ideal for anyone looking to add an authentic and complex layer of flavour to their Japanese cooking.
