Hida Sansho’s "Mi-Sansho" (whole Sansho berries) is made by pickling the tender, unripe berries of highland Sansho grown in Okuhida. It is a condiment that lets you enjoy the sharp, tingling sensation and unique texture of the whole berry. Offering a different experience from ground Sansho powder, these berries add a new dimension to your meals.
From the experts who know highland Sansho
Produced by Hida Sansho, a specialist maker based in the Okuhida Onsen villages of Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture. They deliver highland Sansho grown in this region in various forms, including whole dried berries, seasonings, and processed products. Mi-Sansho is a specialty that allows you to incorporate the aroma of the berries into your cooking in their whole form.
From sashimi to simmered dishes, one berry at a time
For sashimi or carpaccio, start by adding a small amount. Savor the pairing of the fish with the fragrance of the Sansho as you eat them together. When added to simmered dishes or chirimen sansho, the berries bring both texture and aroma to the plate. We recommend adjusting the amount to suit the dish and your personal taste.
For moments of savoring with a drink
We also recommend enjoying a small amount as an appetizer with a dry sake. Use it as an accent for your everyday meals, or as a treat to savor the Sansho on its own during evening drinks. Start with a single berry and discover your own favorite way to enjoy it.
