Kawarasaki Sansho is a traditional Japanese spice that adds a unique and flavorful kick to dishes. Made from the dried berries of the prickly ash tree, this seasoning has a citrusy and peppery taste with hints of numbing heat, and is commonly used in Sichuan cuisine to add depth and complexity to stir-fries, soups, and noodle dishes. The vibrant green color not only enhances the visual appeal of food but also signifies its freshness and quality. Its aromatic fragrance can instantly transport you to the bustling streets of Japan, where vendors sprinkle it generously on grilled meats or tempura for an extra burst of flavor. In addition to its culinary uses, Kawarasaki Sansho is believed to have medicinal properties such as aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and boosting immunity. Its zesty flavor profile makes it a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into both savory and sweet recipes.
