Sancho Pepper, also known as Japanese Pepper or Zanthoxylum piperitum, is a distinctive spice derived from the dried husks of the berries of the Zanthoxylum tree. Renowned for its unique flavor profile, Sancho Pepper combines a fragrant, citrusy zest with a numbing, tingling sensation on the palate rather than traditional spiciness.
While it is not considered particularly hot compared to other peppers, its bold, aromatic qualities make it an essential ingredient in Japanese cuisine, adding complexity and depth to dishes such as udon, ramen, and various spice blends. Sancho Pepper’s ability to enhance flavors without overwhelming heat makes it a versatile and intriguing addition to a variety of culinary creations.
