About
The word togarashi translates to Chinese Mustard. Schichimi Togarashi is a commonly used Japanese 7-spice blend that typically includes red chile pepper, roasted orange peel, yellow and black sesame seeds, Japanese pepper, seaweed, and ginger. Use the mixture to flavor soups or noodles and yakitori.
Togarashi History
Chiles were introduced to Japan in the 16th century most likely via China. While some fresh chiles are used, dried chiles in different forms are more common. In addition to Shichimi togarashi, you can also get Ichimi, which is just dried, powdered chile.
