Five reasons to choose Sumi-Shichimi

(1) A new type of spice that combines the aroma of hemp charcoal with a detoxifying effect

The greatest features of Charcoal Shichimi are the deep, rich aroma of hemp charcoal and its detoxifying effect of absorbing waste products.

Just a sprinkle on your food will add a smoky flavor and rich, full-bodied taste, creating a deeper flavor.

✔ Hemp charcoal (detoxifying effect through adsorption)
✔ Black beans and burdock (adds flavor and subtle sweetness)

This spice is perfect for health-conscious people or those who want to upgrade their meals.

(2) A deep flavor created by the numbing spiciness and aroma

Unlike typical shichimi, the numbing spiciness of sansho, the roasted aroma of black beans and burdock, and the deep heat of red chili peppers are exquisitely blended.

✔ Sansho (spicy, refreshing taste)
✔ Red pepper (capsaicin gives it a strong, spicy flavor)
✔ Black pepper (adds a smoky spiciness)

It goes well not only with Japanese cuisine, but also with ethnic, Chinese, and Western cuisine, adding new flavors to your dishes.

(3) A deep black color that enhances the appearance of food

 The blending of hemp charcoal creates a deep black color that is rare in shichimi pepper.

✔ Sprinkle on white rice or tofu for a chic contrast
✔ Sprinkle on meat dishes or grilled vegetables to add a gourmet touch
✔ Make simple dishes look professional

It's a spice that adds impact to a dish while still bringing out the flavor of simple ingredients.

(4) Perfect for those who are health-conscious! Natural spices with functionality

✔ Detoxifying effect of hemp charcoal (absorption of waste products and internal cleansing)
✔ Black bean and burdock polyphenols (antioxidant properties help maintain health)
✔ Spicy effects of Japanese pepper and chili pepper (promotes blood flow and metabolism)

This natural spice is perfect for those who want to enjoy eating while also being conscious of their health.

Special feature: The ultimate in depth and aroma, the story of "Sumi Shichimi"

The deep black color created by charcoal.

In the past in Japan, charcoal was not just used as fuel but also as a symbol of purification.

It is said that charcoal was used for shimenawa (sacred ropes) and festivals at shrines, and even for samurai to purify themselves before battle.

Could we create a new spice by combining the power of charcoal with the profound flavor of shichimi pepper?

This idea led to the creation of "Sumi Shichimi."

Product Overview

raw materials	Red pepperIt is an important ingredient responsible for spiciness in "Tan Shichimi." It is made from green chili peppers that have ripened and turned red, and the component that contributes to the spiciness is "capsaicin." Capsaicin has the effect of warming the body and improving blood circulation. Additionally, it is rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and carotene, and is used as a seasoning to add spiciness and color to dishes. Green chili pepperIt refers to young chili peppers that are not yet fully ripe. They contain "capsaicin," which is the source of spiciness, but are milder than red chili peppers, characterized by a refreshing and slightly spicy flavor. Green chili peppers are rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and carotene, which can aid digestion and help warm the body. Black beans (contains soybeans)Black beans are rich in nutrients, particularly high in protein and dietary fiber, and are known as a healthy food ingredient. They are often used as boiled beans in traditional New Year's dishes, characterized by a slightly sweet taste and a soft texture. Additionally, black beans contain a component called "anthocyanin," which has antioxidant properties and helps protect the body. Black beans are widely used as a nutritious and healthy food ingredient. BurdockThe roasted aroma and unique earthy flavor of burdock root add depth to shichimi togarashi, creating a distinct taste that sets it apart from others. Additionally, burdock root is rich in dietary fiber and polyphenols, making it a healthy ingredient. When dried and powdered, burdock root is incorporated into shichimi, resulting in a flavorful seasoning. Sansho berriesThe Japanese pepper contains a component called "sanshool," which creates a unique spiciness that numbs the tongue. Additionally, Japanese pepper has a refreshing citrus aroma, making it perfect for enhancing the flavor of dishes. It is said that Japanese pepper can aid digestion and stimulate appetite. By being used in shichimi togarashi, you can enjoy a different kind of numbing spiciness compared to regular chili peppers. Hemp seedsHemp seeds, derived from the cannabis plant, have been used in shichimi togarashi for a long time. Hemp seeds are characterized by a nutty flavor and a crunchy texture, adding an accent to dishes. Additionally, hemp seeds are rich in essential nutrients for the body. For example, they contain a balanced amount of proteins that build the body, as well as beneficial omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The hemp seeds used in Japan are sourced from safe varieties, so they can be consumed with confidence. Hemp charcoalHemp charcoal is a material made by burning the stems of hemp to create charcoal. Hemp charcoal has a "porous structure" with many small holes, which is said to give it a high adsorption capacity, allowing it to absorb unwanted substances from the body. Hemp charcoal is tasteless and odorless, and it is believed to have detoxifying effects and aid digestion. It is used as a food additive to support health, either in cooking or mixed into beverages.
