The Rarest Expression of Kanzuri

A fermented Japanese chili-yuzu condiment aged for six years in Niigata, Japan. Featured on Business Insider’s “So Expensive”

Crafted using:

• Domestic Japanese chili peppers
• Rice koji
• Yuzu
• Salt

Nothing more.

Born from Snow. Refined by Time.

Every winter in Myoko, Niigata, salted chilies are spread across snow fields in a traditional process called Yukisarashi.

The snow:

• Softens bitterness
• Refines spice
• Shapes texture and flavor

The paste is then slowly aged and fermented for six years.

Not accelerated.
Not industrialized.
Not rushed.

Why It Is So Rare

This product takes:

6 full years from preparation to shipment

Production is intentionally limited to approximately:

Production limited to 100 bottles per month

Each batch reflects:

• Climate
• Fermentation conditions
• Time itself

True luxury cannot be mass produced.
