Each of the six spice towers are comprised of eight types of spices selected by cuisine genres such as Japanese, Italian, and desserts – even spices for drinks and food to complement them. The wide selection was created with the aim of introducing the diverse ways spices can be used and enjoyed. The towers of clear stacked spice jars make a stylish addition to the kitchen. They also make it easy to spot the spice and know at a glance how much there is remaining. Each tower comes with a guide and recipe, so beginner cooks can enjoy them to the fullest as well. The Japan-themed tower includes eight spices essential for Japanese cuisine: yuzu, ume (Japanese plum), wasabi, poppy seeds, shichimi (mix of seven spices with chili pepper as the main ingredient), wagarashi (Japanese mustard), aonori (dried green seaweed) and Sichuan pepper. It is a perfect gift for foreign friends and guests to share Japanese food culture with the world.
