Shichimi
Shichimi
(or nanami) translates to seven
flavors. They are a blend of ground red chili, black sesame, white
sesame, yuzu
peels, sahnsho pepper, dried seaweed, and dried ginger. It is not as
spicy as
the ichimi, and is often used to season hot noodles such as udon, and
soba
Shichimi
is originally not used in sushi,
but it is used to accentuate the spicy mayonnaise sauce to give it
extra spice, and texture.
