Sansho is a distinctive spice widely used in Japanese cuisine. It has a bright, lemony flavour with a mild, peppery heat. It offers a refreshing, zesty taste that cuts through rich and fatty dishes. One of its signature qualities is a tingling, numbing effect on the tongue and lips, caused by the compound sanshool.
Sansho has been a part of Japanese culinary tradition for centuries and plays a vital role in enhancing the flavours of many dishes. It is most famously paired with unagi no kabayaki (grilled eel glazed with a sweet soy sauce). The tangy, citrusy notes of sansho balance the richness and sweetness of the eel sauce, cutting through the fattiness and enhancing the overall flavour.
Sansho pepper is also often sprinkled on yakitori, especially on fattier cuts like chicken thighs or wings, adding a zesty kick that complements the smoky, savoury flavour of the grilled chicken.
This 100% ground sansho pepper powder comes in a handy resealable bottle, ensuring that it remains fresh and easy to use. The powder form allows for easy sprinkling or mixing into dishes.
Keep dry, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
