What you can expect

Learn about the history of Shichimi, originally used as medicine, and discover the unique properties of Japanese ingredients like Sansho (Japanese pepper), Yuzu (citrus), and hemp seeds.

    Blend the flavours to suit your palate, using professional tools like a mortar and pestle to release the aroma and pack it into a high-quality container. Learn about the historical context of spice as medicine, linked to the Seven Lucky Gods and Chinese medicine, and why it became popular in the Edo period.

    Get tips on modern food pairings, like using your blend on popcorn, french fries, or even vanilla ice cream.
