Description

Shichimi is a spice blend widely used in Japan and considered excellent for health. It is traditionally composed of seven spices, hence its name in Japanese "shichi" (seven) "mi" (flavor). This variant contains more than 60% yuzu powder. It is produced in the Miyazaki region, in the village of Kagura where yuzu is considered a true treasure. In this shichimi, the yuzu powder is additionally mixed with red chili pepper and Japanese mikan mandarin peel. Widely appreciated for its aroma and unique flavor, somewhere between mandarin and citron, yuzu perfectly complements the delicate flavors of Japanese cuisine.

Kagura no sato
The producer

Kagura no sato

Kagura no sato has been founded in 1978, in the Shiromi Mountains in Kyushu, in the west of Miyazaki Prefecture. The region benefits from ideal climatic conditions for producing and cultivating yuzu. Indeed, the citrus fruit needs strong temperature differences to grow well. However, the humid fog that hangs over the Shiromi mountains, canonized by the locals as a divine breath, fulfills this role perfectly, making winter temperatures reach as low as -7°C. Flatter, but also more acidic and sweet than ordinary yuzu, the yuzu produced by Kagura no sato undergoes a careful transformation process to produce juices and other condiments of very high quality.
