"Shrimp-shaped Sansho Salt Koji Olive Oil" is made with generous amounts of Nara Prefecture-grown Sansho pepper.
The refreshing aroma and tangy kick of Japanese pepper, combined with the mellow saltiness of shio koji and the richness of olive oil, creates a deep flavor.
The grainy texture of the sansho pepper adds an accent, and just one sprinkle will elevate your dish.
Drizzle it over steamed or grilled vegetables to bring out their sweetness and add a refreshing aftertaste.
When paired with fish dishes such as carpaccio or grilled fish, it brings out the umami of the fat, and when poured over grilled chicken, steak, or lamb chops, the softness of the shio koji harmonizes with the richness of the olive oil.
It goes great with rice or bread, and just sprinkling it on freshly cooked rice makes a delicious treat. Pair it with baguette and cheese and it's also perfect as a snack to go with alcohol.
This versatile seasoning can be used in a wide range of dishes, from Japanese to Western cuisine. It is a recommended item for everyday meals as well as a gift for someone special.
