Cartoon & Food | Shichimi and Motsu

How has your week been?
How about some irreverent nutty weirdness to get the weekend on the way? 
And how about some nourishment ideas, too?
Shichimi Togarashi "Seven Spice" – This traditional seasoning from Japan means “seven flavor chili” and varies by the region. We handcraft our version by mixing together toasted and black sesame seeds, orange peel, white poppy seeds, Hungarian paprika, Chinese chiles, Szechwan peppercorns, ginger and toasted seaweed. The flavor is intense and does a fast paced dance on the tongue filling your mouth with a new sensation. 
Motsu-nabe is a type of (hot) pot dish, which is made from beef or pork offal. A hot pot (nabe) is filled with soup, prepared beef or pork offal and boiled for a while; cabbage and garlic chives are added. The base soup is usually soy sauce with garlic and chili pepper, or miso. After eating offal and vegetables, champon noodles are often put into the pot and boiled to complete the dish.

Travel | Hello Tomorrow

Let’s just ignore the fact this is a commercial (no kick back here), since the notion of being interconnected through travel is, well, just lovely.
