As shown in the video, you can watch the performance of the salesman at his food stall repeating his sales pitch while blending and selling his spices.
The 7 different spices are layered side by side like a rainbow and blended beautifully- a process that gathers quite an audience.

In Japan, this type of sales pitch/vendor performance dates back to long ago.

Summary of the Togarashi Salesman

Did you enjoy the enchanting voice of the spice salesman?

Shichimi-togarashi is an attractive addition to various Japanese dishes such as ochazuke (rice soaked with green tea, dashi, or hot water), eggs over rice, and tsukudani (seafood, meat or seaweed simmered in soy sauce and sugar).
In addition to shichimi-togarashi being an everyday seasoning, it also makes for a great souvenir.
If you haven't tried it before, be sure to pick up some shichimi-togarashi the next time you have the chance!
