Shikuwasa Citrus & Red Pepper Island Hot Sauce | Producer: Higa Seicha | Prefecture: Okinawa | Ingredients: Shikuwasa juice (Okinawa), rice vinegar (domestic), red pepper, salt (Okinawa), hihatsumodoki (Javanese long pepper) (Indonesia) Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Soy-free | Size: 60g

Okinawa is famous for its hot sauces infused with local flavors and island spices. This special red pepper sauce includes shikuwasa (hirami lemon) - a flat, green, very sour citrus fruit (the name means “eat the sourness”) that can be found lining the streets and backyards of Okinawa. The tart citrus taste, best described as a mix between a lime and yuzu, is the perfect companion to the fiery heat of red peppers and hihatsumodoki, the Japanese word for Javanese long pepper. Resembling slender pine cones, Javanese long peppers are similar to black pepper, but have a slightly sweet scent and are noticeably hotter and more pungent in taste with hints of ginger and bay leaves. The resulting hot sauce has a distinct shikuwasa flavor with spicy heat and earthy, acidic undertones.
