my favorite use of shichimi is to sprinkle it on "Gyu-don" or "Gyusuji stew". I also like to sprinkle shichimi or ichimi on mayo and use it as dip for "Surume-ika"(dried squid)! It may sound yucky to those who have never tried, but it's actually really good. Once you eat it, you can't stop

Hi torakris! Thank you for welcoming me :) I'm Japanese living in North America. This egullet Japan forum makes me homesick! Now you mentioned that your ex-'s mom used to make chirimen-sansho, I did a research and found a recipe! It says you add sake, soy-sauce, and mirin in order to add the flavor. sounds yummy, doesn't it!

Hi! Hajime mashite. I love sansho too! I've heard that sancho is related to oranges, but I might be wrong... Now you guys mentioned "unajyu", I got so hungry.. I also like sansho "furikake" in which sansho is mixed with dried small fish called "chirimen-jyako". Has anybody tried that? It's kinda hard to find at a local supermarket. I'm really interested in knowing other ways to enjoy sansho!
