Seeds are taken out from pickled red pepper, and the red pepper is rolled by pickled perilla leaves. Your appetite will be stimulated if you chopped the Shisomaki-tougarashi and put it on the rice. Since it is the work of rolling one at a time by hand, mass production by the machine is not available, but it is treated as a traditional specialty.

Originally, it was eaten by ascetics for the purpose of salt supply and warmed up. Vitamin C of single Shisomaki-tougarashi is ten times of lemon. Wisdom of ascetics is seen in this food.
