Shichimi spice, also known as Shichimi Togarashi, is a traditional Japanese spice blend. "Shichi" means seven, and "mi" means flavor, so it's often referred to as "seven-flavor chili pepper." This seasoning typically contains a mixture of seven spices, which can vary but commonly include ingredients like red chili flakes, ground sansho (a type of Japanese pepper), roasted orange peel, black and white sesame seeds, ground ginger, nori (seaweed) flakes, and poppy seeds.
