Shichimi

Shichi-mi tōgarashi (^?, seven-flavor chili pepper), also known as nana-iro tōgarashi (^?, seven-color chili pepper) or simply shichimi, is a common Japanese spice mixture containing seven ingredients.

A typical blend may contain:

Some recipes may substitute or supplement these with poppy seed, yuzu peel, rapeseed or shiso.

Shichimi should be distinguished from ichi-mi tōgarashi (^?, one-flavor chili pepper), which is simply ground red chili pepper.

It dates back at least to the 17th century, when it was produced by herb dealers in Edo, current day Tokyo, and sometimes it is referred to as Yagenbori (^?, from the name of the original place of production). Most shichimi sold today come from one of three kinds, sold near temples: Yagenbori (やげん堀^?) sold near Sensō-ji, Shichimiya (七味家^?) sold near Kiyomizu-dera, and Yawataya Isogorō (八幡屋磯五郎^?) sold near Zenkō-ji.
