Shichimi Togarashi is as popular in Japan as salt & pepper is in the US. It is often mixed with seaweed and salt and can be very spicy. The spice blend goes well with any grilled meat or vegetables and with salads or rice. Our shrimp recipe has many variations, such as chicken and vegetarian proteins. Alternatively, use Shichimi Togarashi as a tabletop condiment. Just use it as soon as convenient for optimal flavor.
