Ichimi,
which translates, to one flavor is
ground dried red chili peppers with the seeds discarded. They are
roughly
ground and spicier than Korean ground chili peppers. The Korean ground
chili
peppers are more fine and have a sweet aroma to them for they are grown
in
cooler climates.
Ichimi

added to the spicy mayonnaise sauce to give it an extra kick. Ichimi is
usually
used in small amounts to season hot noodles such as udon and soba.
