Shichimi togarashi (seven-spice chili pepper blend) from Maruya in Kyoto. The name suggests it is so spicy that a maiko (apprentice geisha) would cry out, and its Kyoto-style packaging makes it a popular souvenir choice.

What Japanese buyers say

The one reviewer found this habanero shichimi very punchy, and its funny name made it a fun, slightly witty gift. The strong heat contrasts amusingly with Kyoto's refined image.
