Shichimiya Honpo Shichimi Arare

These are rice crackers (arare) made using the shichimi chili pepper from Shichimiya Honpo, a long-standing shop located on the approach to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. You can enjoy an addictive deliciousness characterized by a spicy kick and the aromatic flavor of sansho pepper, with the strong presence of Japanese spices. Shichimiya Honpo is a venerable establishment that opened its doors in the Sannenzaka area near Kiyomizu-dera during the Meireki era (1655–1659). Their shichimi chili pepper, which blends chili peppers with sansho, sesame, and other ingredients, is counted as one of Japan's three great shichimi blends. As you chew these crackers coated in the famous shop's shichimi, the savory aroma and spiciness gradually spread. It is a flavorful, Kyoto-style snack that pairs perfectly with both tea and alcohol.
