Citrusy, bright, with a near pine-like profile.
Sansho pepper, also called Japanese pepper or prickly ash, is a cousin of Sichuan peppercorns. It yields a similar bold, but brief, mouth-tingling sensation and a mild mouth-watering quality.

This earthy green pepper offers a similar mouth-numbing profile to the widely beloved Sichuan peppercorn, but is fruitier, sweeter and offers a welcome herbal freshness. It’s made with Asakura Zansho, a premium sansho pepper known for its incredible aromatic properties, and packaged in individual serving sizes to maintain that freshness and aroma. The spice’s delicate tingle goes a long way in sauces and also gives a good boost when mixed with mayo.
Not sure how you’d use it?
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
HOW TO USE
Traditionally, the pepper is sprinkled on eel donburi and yakitori as well as slurpy udon noodles in the Kansai region of Japan. We love it blended with salt for a bold all-purpose seasoning and using it to add depth to rich fried dishes like chicken, and tempura. Toss a pinch into spreads and sauces to add complexity, or use in place of black pepper wherever you’d like. And it’s incredible tossed in with your favorite kettle-cooked potato chips (trust us).
