Shinshu Monzen Suridane

Japanese All-Purpose Chili & Sesame Spice

Bring the bold flavors of Nagano to your kitchen with Shinshu Monzen Suridane, a traditional Japanese spice blend inspired by the historic temple town of Zenko-ji Temple.

Crafted using premium Japanese chili pepper from Yawataya Isogoro, this aromatic blend combines gentle heat with the rich, nutty fragrance of toasted white and black sesame seeds. Coarsely ground for texture and depth, every sprinkle releases a warm, appetizing aroma that enhances both simple and hearty dishes.
