It's a little cheaper than in Japanese supermarkets, but it's not pure sansho pepper; it's a mixture with Sichuan peppercorns. The bottle is very small, so it's expensive. I'm looking for pure sansho pepper powder.

I like this mustard sauce the most, with a little sour grapefruit flavor, it is a good choice for sashimi or avocado.
Tien tien lo
Really like this version of yuzu kosho.. better than the S&B brand. You can actually taste the yuzu and chilis in it. Slightly on the saltier side but it works as a great dipping sauce for different meats, hot pot, etc. can even mix it with some kewpie to make a yummy aioli for sandwiches!
Jen
Makes anything delicious

Love this on my omelette!
