Today the marks the sixth day of our 12 Days of Christmas holiday deals. Every day, from today through December 24, we’ll offer a new one-day only deal on a product in our shop. Today’s deal is for 10% off Umami Mart Japanese Spice Sets. Find the discount code on our 12 Days of Christmas page.

The Umami Mart Japanese Spice Set features three spice blends that are ideal for creating many Japan-inspired dishes: Shichimi Togarashi, Umami Salt and Japanese Curry Powder. All three are hand-blended by our friends at Oaktown Spice Shop.


  • Japanese Curry Powder is a yellow curry powder with a wonderful savory aroma. Use it to make Japanese curry sauce from scratch to eat over steamed rice, ramen, or udon noodles. Try it in curried chicken or egg salad. Sprinkle it onto chicken karaage.


  • Shichimi Togarashi, or seven-flavor chili pepper, is a blend of black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, chili flakes, orange zest, sansho, and nori. It's a perfect complement to hot noodles or fried rice. Sprinkle it on your ramen, udon, and other noodles, or grilled meats and vegetables.


  • Umami Salt gives you all the flavor without MSG. Add an extra savory punch to any dish, from grilled chicken to scrambled eggs to popcorn and pretty much everything else that goes in your mouth.


The Umami Mart Japanese Spice Set comes packed in a white gift box wrapped in decorative tape – an easy, no-brainer gift for your friend who loves to cook!
