Frozen Sansho berries
From 10,74 €
Sansho, also known as Japanese pepper (Zanthoxylum piperitum), is a classic ingredient in Japanese gastronomy. The berries combine a pronounced citrus freshness with a mild, tingling heat that gives a slightly numbing sensation on the tongue.
This variant is supplied frozen to preserve aroma, texture, and the characteristic freshness. The aroma profile is reminiscent of yuzu and other citrus fruits, while the taste experience balances acidity, heat, and complexity.
Characteristics:
- Intense citrus aroma
- Mild, tingling heat
- Slight numbing effect
- Frozen for optimal quality
In Japanese food culture, sansho is used both as a single spice and in blends such as shichimi togarashi. The frozen berries can be used directly in dishes and add aromatic depth to fish, meat, vegetables, and sauces. They are particularly well suited to balancing fatty ingredients such as eel, wagyu, and pork, but also work in light dishes, marinades, and dressings.
Delivery of frozen berries
Whole frozen berries cannot be shipped as true frozen goods – not even with the purchase of frozen shipping. The large surface area means they thaw faster during transport.
They are shipped in insulated boxes with cooling elements to keep them cold along the way. Upon receipt, the berries may therefore be partially or fully thawed.
Important:
Order as close as possible to the date of use
Shelf life after thawing: Up to 5 days
This ensures the best possible quality and usability.
