Sansho is a spice that is often sprinkled lightly on some Japanese soups, stews, and fish dishes. It is also an essential ingredient in shichimi togarashi.

Shichimi Togarashi is a condiment composed of seven spices. These seven spices are ground chili, hemp seed, poppy seed, rape seed, Sichuan peppercorns, sesame seeds, and ground dried orange peel. The combination of these flavours makes for a delightful spice not too fiery, but very flavourful.

Fu is a great alternative to meat. It is extremely high in protein, and when shaped and cooked properly, it tastes exactly like meat as well.

Ginko nuts are a common ingredient in Japanese cooking. They have pale yellow flesh that is firm and smooth, in a white outer shell.
