FRUIT

SANSHO PEPPER

Sansho pepper is known for its subtle balance of pepper and citrus flavors, enhancing traditional Japanese dishes.

KOCHI SPECIALS

Sansho pepper, sometimes called Japanese pepper, provides a similar numbing sensation to the Sichuan pepper but with a brighter, citrusy flavor. The term refers to the green berries of the Japanese prickly-ash, which grows in the hills of Kochi. These berries are dried to concentrate the flavor, aroma, and cooling feeling. Sansho is used in many traditional Japanese dishes such as grilled eel. It enhances meat or fish, and can add complexity to craft gins and cocktails.
