Kanzuri

Prefecture of Japan: Niigata

Kanzuri in Japanese: かんずり

Kanzuri is a traditional spicy fermented chili paste that has been made exclusively in Myoko City in the snowy prefecture of Niigata for generations. This artisanal paste is so special as only the Kanzuri family company can manufacture and sell it (it’s even difficult to find in Japan outside of Niigata!).
