Test Kitchen Tip: Sansho pepper comes from the dried green peppercorns of the Japanese prickly ash plant. Common in both Japanese and Korean cuisine, ground sansho pepper has a strong citrusy flavor and a mild tingly effect when eaten. Compared to Chinese Szechuan pepper, Sansho pepper is less spicy and produces a milder numbing effect. Sansho pepper is one of the key components in Japanese Seven Spice, also known as shichimi togarashi, as well as a preferred seasoning for Yakitori.
