Angel hair chilli, also known as ‘Ito togarashi’ in Japanese, consists of ultra-thin strands of dried red chilli peppers. These delicate threads provide a mild to moderate heat with a slightly fruity flavour.

Unlike powdered or flaked chilli, Ito Togarashi provides a subtle spice without overwhelming heat. The threads can be used as a garnish to enhance both the presentation and taste of various dishes.
