Yamatsu Tsujita's Stone-Ground Asakura Powdered Sansho (Limited Edition) is crafted from the fresh buds and young berries of the Asakura sansho plant, renowned for its vibrant aroma and refreshing light green hue. To preserve its unique fragrance and color, the sansho is meticulously ground using traditional stone mills, ensuring that the natural flavors are fully extracted without being compromised by heat.


This exquisite seasoning pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats like yakiniku and steak, as well as tempura, especially when combined into a sansho salt blend (three parts sansho powder to one part salt). Sourced from contract farmers in Japan's remote mountainous regions, this product reflects a deep commitment to quality and tradition.
