Kyoto Limited Sanneizaka Maiko Han HiHiHi~ World’s Hottest Shichimi 1 Can Ochanoko Saishai

Product Description

Introducing the Maiko Han Hi~Hi~Hi~ Shichimi Tangy Pepper, a hot chili pepper blend that is surprisingly spicy even for those who love spicy food. This unique blend combines several kinds of chili peppers to deliver a perfect balance of "spiciness," "umami," and "flavor." The domestically produced habanero peppers used in this blend provide an addictive flavor within the spiciness.

This shichimi pepper not only features the intense spiciness of habanero but also incorporates the distinct flavor of sansho (Japanese pepper), reminiscent of Kyoto cuisine. It is made with a generous amount of small, aromatic Asakura sansho pepper from Wakayama Prefecture. The blend of fresh aromatic sansho pepper, aromatic sesame seeds, green laver, shiso, and other flavorful condiments gives it a soft aroma when sprinkled over dishes.

If you want to add spiciness and aroma to your dishes and enjoy a rich flavor, Maiko Han Hi~Hi~Hi~ Shichimi Tangy Pepper is highly recommended. Just one sprinkle of this shichimi is enough to replace the usual five sprinkles of regular shichimi, making it a cost-effective and potent addition to your spice collection.

The blend of habanero chili peppers, known for their extreme spiciness, and finely ground chili peppers ensures that the spiciness spreads evenly in dishes, allowing you to experience the full heat. The unique blend of aromatic Asakura pepper and other condiments creates a Kyoto-style shichimi that is both spicy and aromatic with a hint of sansho (Japanese pepper).

Sprinkle this shichimi on hot dishes like udon (Japanese noodles) to give them a spicy flavor and a Kyoto-like aroma that will whet your appetite. The rich aroma of sansho (Japanese pepper) and sesame seeds enhances the dish, and combined with the flavor and spiciness of chili peppers, it adds a great accent to your meal. When used in strongly flavored dishes such as meat dishes, the unique aroma and taste of sansho (Japanese pepper) will refresh the dish, while the flavor and spiciness of habanero will broaden the flavor profile. Even in lightly seasoned dishes, the aroma and piquancy of the habanero will make the dish taste more balanced.

Maiko Han Hi~Hi~Hi~ Shichimi is about 10 times hotter than commercial chili peppers, making it a perfect choice for those who love extremely spicy food. The Scoville value, a unit to express the spiciness of chili peppers, indicates that while hawk's claw has 40,000~50,000 Scoville units, the habanero called "Red Sabina" used in Maiko Han Hi~Hi~Hi~ can have up to 570,000 Scoville units.
