Himo Togarashi

Part of our Seeds of Japan collection this year we brought in authentic Himo Togarashi seeds all the way from Japan and grew them here in order to give customers a authentic growing and eating experience.

This pepper is a key ingredient in making Shichimi Togarashi, this is the powder flakes that often come in the spice packets of Buldak Ramen. However we found these to taste 1:1 like the powder when eating raw. The pods resemble Thunder Mountain Longhorn but are not the same length and had much better flavors. This has to be our highest rated, under discussed pepper from Japan after the Shishitos. A must grow for anyone who wants authentic flavours.

Himo Togarashi is a traditional Japanese pepper with long, thin pods and a mild to medium heat. Its slender peppers are valued for their bright flavor and versatility in the kitchen. Enjoy them fresh, grilled, stir-fried, pickled, or dried and used as a seasoning for Japanese dishes, noodles, tempura, and sauces.

We also have included a photo of the original seeds we sourced.
