Shichimi Togarashi ("shichi" meaning "seven" and "mi" meaning "taste"; "togarashi" is Japanese dried red chilli) is a popular Japanese seven-flavour seasoning, containing dried chilli mixed with several distinct spices.
Often just called shichimi, there are variations to the formula depending on which region in Japan you travel to - often, more than seven spices are included. Use as a condiment for spicing udon noodles, soups, nabemono (one-pot dishes) and yakitori. Its delicious crunch is irresistible.
