Wikipedia
''Shichimi tōgarashi'' (Japanese: , "seven flavor chili pepper") or simply ''shichimi'', is a common Japanese spice mixture containing seven ingredients. It is also known as ''nanami tōgarashi'' outside Japan. The main ingredient is coarsely ground red chili pepper, to which is typically added: * mandarin orange peel * sesame seed * poppy seed * hemp seed * ''nori'' or ''aonori'' *ground ''sansho'' (a relative of Sichuan pepper) Some recipes may substitute or supplement these with yuzu peel, rapeseed, ginger, or shiso. It was originally produced by herb dealers in Edo, current day Tokyo, and sometimes it is referred to as Yagenbori (Japanese: , from the name of the original place of production). Now, some specialized shops located in front of temples such as Zenkoji in Nagano and Kiyomizudera in Kyoto are well known in Japan. It is often used in soups and on noodles and gyūdon. Some rice products such as rice cakes, agemochi and roasted rice crackers also use it for seasoning. Shichimi should be distinguished from ''ichimi tōgarashi'', which is simply ground red chili pepper.
