Clearspring Organic Shichimi is a delicious traditional Japanese condiment, which is a staple in almost every Japanese kitchen. Shichimi, or shichi, 七 (seven) mi, 味(flavours) is also known by some as ‘Japanese seven spice’. It is a blend of seeds, condiments and spice. We believe Clearspring Shichimi is one of, if not the only organic Shichimi available in the UK. Organic Shichimi is made using the finest quality organic ingredients. It contains both black sesame and whole sesame seeds, which have both been toasted to bring out their natural flavour. The sesame seeds are then mixed with a perfectly balanced blend of ingredients including chilli flakes, black pepper, ginger powder, orange peel and nori (sea vegetable). The powerful heat from the chilli is beautifully complemented by refreshing citrus notes and the complex umami rich flavours of sesame and nori. It is made in the UK in small batches to ensure that the taste and quality is perfect every time. This versatile condiment is perfect for adding a depth of flavour to a wide variety of dishes, including warm or cold noodle dishes, tofu as well as for BBQs. It can be added as an ingredient while cooking, or simply sprinkled over your finished meal as a garnish.
