Key benefits

• A blend of seven high-quality ingredients 
• Toasted sesame seeds for enhanced flavour 
• Perfectly balanced with citrus notes and umami flavour 

Shichimi, also known as 'Japanese seven spice', is a blend of seeds, condiments, and spices that add depth and complexity to any dish.

Clearspring’s Organic Shichimi combines the finest organic ingredients, including black sesame seeds and whole sesame seeds, toasted to perfection to unlock their natural flavours. These sesame seeds form the backbone of the blend, providing a rich, nutty undertone that harmonises with the other components.

The blend includes vibrant chilli flakes, aromatic black pepper, zesty ginger powder, and fragrant orange peel, each contributing its unique character to the mix. Additionally, nori, a nutrient-rich sea vegetable, adds a subtle umami depth, elevating the overall flavour profile.

Shichimi is made in small batches in the UK, ensuring consistency and quality with every jar. Whether sprinkled over noodles, rice dishes, soups, or grilled meats, Clearspring Organic Shichimi adds a delightful burst of flavour.

The history of Shichimi dates back to the 17th century when it was first created by Tokuemon, a visionary spice merchant in the streets of Edo, Japan. Inspired by the introduction of red chilli by the Portuguese, Tokuemon crafted a blend of seven ingredients that not only tantalised the palate but also offered health benefits. This original blend, known as shichimi-togarashi, has since become a cornerstone of Japanese cuisine, with variations emerging across different regions and producers.
