material

1. Red chili peppers: This is an important ingredient in Sakura Shichimi that gives it a spicy flavor. They are green chili peppers that have ripened and turned red, and the compound that gives them their spiciness is capsaicin. Capsaicin has the effect of warming the body and improving blood circulation. It is also rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and carotene, and is used as a seasoning to add spiciness and color to dishes.
2. Sakura leaves: An important ingredient that gives Sakura Shichimi its unique aroma. In particular, the ingredient "coumarin" creates the sweet and gentle aroma of the sakura leaves. This scent is familiar because it is also used in sakura mochi. Sakura leaves are also said to have antioxidant and relaxing effects. When used in cooking, it gives a rich aroma and flavorful taste.
3. Ginger: Contains a pungent ingredient called "gingerol," which gives ginger its unique hotness and warms the body. Ginger also aids digestion and has long been used as a food that warms the body. It can be used with other spices to add flavor and aroma to dishes.
4. Leaf sansho: This is made from the dried young leaves of the Japanese pepper tree. Leaf sansho contains a compound called "citronellal" and has a refreshing lemon-like scent. Compared to the fruit of the Japanese pepper, leaf sansho has a milder flavor and adds a light spiciness and aroma to food. Leaf sansho also aids digestion and has antibacterial properties, so it has long been used as a seasoning to make meals more enjoyable.
5. Genko: A rare citrus fruit that grows on Madara Island in Saga Prefecture. It has a thick skin and a strong sour taste, and has long been used as a seasoning by locals. Genko has a refreshing scent unique to citrus fruits, and its dried skin is used in shichimi togarashi. This gives Sakura Shichimi its unique scent and flavor.
6. Hemp seeds : Seeds from the cannabis plant (hemp), which have long been used in shichimi togarashi (Japanese pepper seasoning). Hemp seeds have a nutty flavor and a crunchy texture that adds an accent to dishes. Hemp seeds also contain many nutrients that the body needs. For example, they contain a good balance of body-building protein and healthy omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Only safe hemp seeds are used in Japan, so you can eat them with peace of mind.
7. Red pepper: A spice made from dried ripe peppercorns. It is milder than black pepper and has a sweeter flavor. The hot ingredient is piperine, which is different from the hot ingredient capsaicin in chili peppers. Red pepper contains vitamins A, C, potassium, and more, and has antioxidant properties that aid digestion and protect the body. When used in cooking, it not only adds hotness and flavor, but also adds a beautiful color, making it perfect for meat dishes and salads.
