Umami Insider Kanzuri Chili Paste - 3 Year Aged, 2.46 oz

About this product

'Kanzuri' is a togarashi chili pepper paste that originated in the Myoko region of Niigata Prefecture centuries ago. It is crafted through a unique 'yuki-sarashi' process (exposing salt-cured pepper to cold air over beds of snow for several days) and aged for three years. Thanks to this process, it exhibits a profound, crisp, and invigorating taste, which makes it coveted by prominent chefs around the world today.

To make their chili paste, Kanzuri Co. , Ltd. , based in the region, grows their own togarashi as well as sourcing it from local contract farmers. First, the togarashi is salt-cured and then undergoes yuki-sarashi. This process helps reduce the saltiness, spiciness and bitterness of the cured togarashi and gives it a mild taste.
