Shichimi, or Nanami, is a tasty blend of seven essential spices and seasonings. This small glass jar contains a blend of red peppers, sansho pepper, roasted orange peel, black and white sesame seeds, seaweed and ginger and is guaranteed to give any dish a spicy taste.

Shichimi literally means “seven flavours” in Japanese. Shichi and Nana are both wods for seven in Japanese which is why you sometimes see this chilli powder called Nanami too.
