Umami Fire - Japanese Spice Blend

Salt-Free Heat with Deep Umami Flavor
 
Umami Fire was built for people who love bold flavor and real heat, but want more than just salt and spice.
 
Ginger, nori, orange peel, sesame, Sichuan pepper, and red pepper flakes come together to create a seasoning that is smoky, citrusy, savory, and electric with warmth. The result is deeply flavorful heat that feels layered instead of overwhelming.
 
Most intensely savory blends rely heavily on sodium or MSG. Umami Fire does not.
 
This blend creates depth through aromatics, toasted ingredients, citrus oils, and the natural savory character of nori and sesame.

Why It Works
Nori brings natural umami depth while orange peel brightens the heavier savory notes. Ginger adds warmth, sesame and poppy seeds create nuttiness and texture, and Sichuan pepper delivers its famous citrusy heat and gentle numbing effect. The result is a blend that feels rich and addictive without relying on heavy sodium.
 
Bloom Recommendation
Medium Bloom • Oil
Umami Fire becomes intensely aromatic when gently bloomed in oil before vegetables, noodles, meats, or broth are added. Blooming helps release the citrus oils, deepen the toasted sesame notes, and soften the Sichuan pepper into the dish.
 
Spicekeeper Tip
Try blooming Umami Fire in sesame oil before tossing with noodles or roasted vegetables. A small amount goes a surprisingly long way.
