Roasted Shishito Kanzuri is a bold, Japanese-style chili sauce that layers roasted shishito peppers, pickled chili mash, garlic, yuzu zest, and shio koji into a vibrant, umami-packed condiment. Shio koji—a fermented blend of rice, salt, and water—adds a subtle depth and savoriness, while the roasted shishitos bring a delicate smokiness and mild heat. A kiss of yuzu brightens the flavor, creating a sauce that’s spicy, floral, garlicky, and complex without overpowering the dish it accompanies.
This versatile condiment is ideal for drizzling over pork bao buns, fish tacos, grilled vegetables, or ramen. It can also be whisked into marinades, spooned onto rice bowls, or used to finish roasted meats and seafood. Its balance of spice, citrus, and umami makes it a powerful yet nuanced kitchen staple for chefs and home cooks alike.
Kanzuri’s line of chili sauces is crafted with traditional fermentation techniques to highlight the natural flavors of Japanese ingredients. This Roasted Shishito version showcases how shio koji’s hidden umami and gentle funk can transform a dish, making it both elevated and exciting.
