I bought this when I last went to Japan and I can’t remember what it’s for. What do you use this in?

1. If I remember well it’s Shichimi togarashi. It’s a mix of spices (chili pepper with sesame seeds and some other stuff). You can add it on top of noodles or soup.

2. I’m pretty sure that’s *Shichimi Togarashi*, a mix of chili pepper and other things (usually *sansho* pepper, sesame seed, seaweed, citrus peel etc). It translates roughly to “Seven Spice Pepper”.

   You use it mostly whenever you want a little extra ‘kick’ at table as you would any other ground red pepper, but it has citrus and nut accents from the sesame and citrus peel that make it a bit more flavorful. I like it on curry rice, miso soup, and other things like that, because I *do* like my hot stuff.

3. I use it when frying rice and leftovers, in my noodle soups.

   And anywhere else I feel it might fit in. It’s not super spicy, but has a nice mix of flavors that goes well with most things.

4. Goes well sprinkled on top of bowl of ramen.

5. I throw it on udon it makes a great boost to a good soup

6. EVERYTHING!

   Just sprinkle a little on top of something like you would a chili sauce.

   It’s the shizz.

7. This is japanese tajín i swear. This is crack. I even put it in refried beans. It’s such a godly combo. It’s also amazing just on rice tho. It’s so good in everything. I’ve even put it on fruit.. yes.. i was high.. but it was kinda good. Well.. the seaweed didn’t go with the melon LOL

8. I haven’t seen anyone mention it yet, it’s the spicy orange powder you see on sushi. Throw it in soup, fried rice/ rice, sushi, etc.

9. I like putting a boatload on gyudon :3

10. Everything!

11. Shichimi Togarashi. You can use it on pretty much whatever you want, keeping in mind that it’s a little spicy. The last time I used it was on Soba, and it was really good.

12. Like other have said, it’s shichimi togarashi (also called Nanami Togarashi to get around superstition). It’s a blend of japanese peppers, orange peel, seaweed, sesame and some other things.

    Personally, because of the orange peel, I don’t really like it much myself, preferring regular Ichimi Togarashi instead, but otherwise, it practically goes on everything the same way we use black pepper, or mixed peppercorns, in the US

13. Errthang

15. You sprinkle it in your eyes in order to provoke the appropriate amount of tears when looking at sushi back home.
