How to Make Shichimi Togarashi Japanese Spice Powder
- Coarsely grind 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds and 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
- Add 1 teaspoon of finely crumbled dried nori seaweed and 1 teaspoon finely chopped dried tangerine peel. Pulse briefly until combined but still slightly coarse.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon red chili flakes (adjust to your spice preference), 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon black sesame seeds, and 1/4 teaspoon Japanese sansho pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
- Transfer the Shichimi Togarashi to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 3-4 months. (It will actually keep longer, with the flavor improving with age!)
- Sprinkle generously over your favorite dishes to enjoy the complex symphony of flavors!
