S&B Nanami Togarashi (七味唐からし) 300g — S&B's brand name for Japan's classic seven-spice chilli powder, generally known as shichimi togarashi. S&B describes it as "a Japanese traditional seasoning with a blend of 7 spices including red chili pepper as a main ingredient", featuring "the rich aroma and color of a balanced blend of red chili pepper, citrus, black sesame, white sesame, Japanese pepper, ginger and seaweed". This is the 300g foodservice pack, published by S&B in its Food Service range.
About S&B Foods
S&B Foods (エスビー食品株式会社) was founded 1923 by Minejiro Yamazaki in Asakusa, Tokyo. Yamazaki produced Japan's first commercial domestic curry powder — the "Hidori" brand — and the "S&B" mark (combining "Sun" and "Bird") was added to the trademark in 1931. The flagship Red Can Curry Powder launched 1950, the Golden Curry (ゴールデンカレー) roux range followed, and in 1970 S&B pioneered the tube format for wasabi, karashi, and ginger condiments — now a Japanese kitchen staple.
What is nanami / shichimi togarashi?
Shichimi togarashi (七味唐辛子, "seven-flavour chilli") is Japan's standard table spice blend: chilli for heat, plus six aromatics that give it a citrus-and-sesame character no plain chilli powder has. S&B describes the traditional basis of the blend as "二辛五香" (nishin goko) — two spices emphasising spiciness and five emphasising fragrance — and dates the seasoning to the Edo period (1600–1867), after which it spread across the country and the formulation grew to vary by region. It is a finishing condiment, sprinkled over a dish at the table rather than cooked into it. "Nanami Togarashi" is S&B's own name for the same thing, using the alternate reading of 七 (nana rather than shichi).
Suggested uses — S&B's own
S&B suggests using it "as a relish for noodles such as Udon, Soba, or beef, chicken, pork and fish dishes in place of pepper or mustard, or as a topping for sushi rolls."
