Hot Spice / Heat at the finish

That plate becomes
something to drink to.

Heat that finishes a dish with nothing but a shake. Umakara layers savour from six spices; Shibikara snaps with green sanshō from Hida and Sichuan. Chilled tofu, a handful of nuts — tonight they lead.

Beyond Spicy

Turning heat
into flavour.

Heat is not only there to sting. Umakara blends six spices, and behind its four different kinds of heat sit sweetness and toastiness — a flavour with depth.

Shibikara is woven from two rare green sanshō — Hida Highland and Sichuan — a tingle with a bright scent. A little on a dish, and the whole landscape of its aroma changes.

Why Hot Spice

Heat, by design.

Two heats that work as aroma rather than as sting.

Umami Heat

Umakara — heat with flavour

Sweetness and toast behind six spices. For heat in a curry or a stir-fry.

Tingling

Shibikara — tingle and scent

Two green sanshō snapping together in a bright tingle. It transforms chilled tofu or mapo in one shake.

Pairing

Layered with Dish

Put it with Dish, the all-purpose seasoning, and heat and savour gain dimension.

Tonight / Three plates

Three plates for tonight.

Nothing to buy. What is already in the fridge becomes something to drink to, with one shake.

Two Heats

Umakara, and Shibikara.

Two Hot Spices, chosen by the heat you want to layer on.
