花椒粉（花胡椒パウダー）

The seal on the bag barely muffles the bold, citrusy kick of the Sichuan pepper powder the moment you open it, and a tiny pinch in my stir-fry gave that unmistakable numbing warmth I was craving. It’s become my go-to for quick soups, and a little goes a long way to shake up a plain broth.

The aroma hits you the second you twist the cap—fragrant, citrusy, and warm. I've been sprinkling it over stir-fries and even soups, and that tingling heat builds just right without overpowering the dish. A little goes a long way in this versatile powder.

The little jar seals tight enough that I don't worry about it spilling in the pantry, and the powder is just the right fineness for dusting over mapo tofu without clumping. A tiny pinch goes a long way, so this bag will last me months.
