{"product_id":"takanotsume","title":"Takanotsume","description":"\u003cp\u003eTakanotsume means “hawk’s claw” in Japanese. Portuguese traders brought the seeds to Japan in the 1600s. The slightly curved, talon-shaped fruit grows upright in clusters, 2 to 3 inches long and ripening from green to bright red. Their flavor is concentrated, savory, and lightly smoky, with clean heat and no floral or Bell-pepper notes. Use green fruit fresh in stir-fries, soups, and marinades. Whole dried red fruit is essential for authentic nabemono, which is a type of hot pot dish, or added to pickling brines, and simmered in soy-based broths. Ground dried fruit is called ichimi togarashi and is also the heat source in the Japanese seasoning blend shichimi togarashi, often sprinkled over soba or udon.
