So what's the deal with Sanshō versus Szechuan pepper, you ask? Well, both of these peppers have a tingly heat to them, but there are some key distinctions. For starters, Sanshō orginates from Japan and Szechuan is from China. If you look at the colour, Sanshō pepper comes in green while Szechuan often has a deeper red hue when ground up. In terms of taste, Sanshō has a strong citrus flavour that reminds you of yuzu or grapefruit whilst Szechuan has more floral notes. And finally, when it comes to spice, Sanshō peppers tend to be milder than Szechuan ones and also have that tingly, numbing effect when you eat them.

I really enjoyed my first tasting experience with this new Sansho pepper miso oil! So distinctive is the flavor. It added a much appreciated depth of flavor to my chicken and noodle dish. The Sansho pepper has a refreshing bright characteristic. It feels glowing and warm; calming, yet stimulating. It leaves a lingering, numbing sensation, that changes to a cooling feeling in the mouth and on the lips. And of course, like the chili miso oils from the tasting set, it is so delicious! It really picked me up at the end of my workday. I hope this sauce continues to be available as a regular product offering.
