Sansho Powder - Stone Milled

This sansho powder captures the timeless appeal of one of Japan’s oldest spices, often called Japanese pepper or prickly ash. With a bright, citrusy fragrance and a tingling, mouth-watering sensation that lightly numbs the tongue and lips, this blend combines three prized varieties—Yama Asakura, Asakura, and Budo—for exceptional depth of flavor. Its layered profile complements grilled meats, BBQ eel, scallops, and more, adding a distinctive lift to both traditional and creative dishes.

Crafted just outside Osaka by Yamatsu Tsujita Co., Ltd., this sansho reflects the passion and skill of fourth-generation owner Hiroyuki Tsujita. Known for sourcing only the finest ingredients and working closely with farmers, Tsujita-san stone mills the sansho to preserve its delicate aroma and nuanced flavor. The result is an artisanal spice with a remarkable balance of fragrance, heat, and complexity.
