Yatsufusa (Yatzy)

Part of our Seeds of Japan collection this year we brought in authentic Yatsufusa 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. The peppers are also ideal for making stir fry as well. While the heat and flavor is close to a Thai pepper the plants grew in a upward shape similar to Hawks Claw. 

Yatsufusa is a traditional Japanese chile prized for its slender, upright pods and bright, moderately hot flavor. The prolific plants produce plenty of peppers that are excellent for drying, making chili flakes, sauces, stir-fries, and seasoning Japanese and Asian dishes. A great choice for cooks looking for a productive, versatile pepper with plenty of heat.

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