Reblogged from GOURMANDE in OSAKA:
A green seasonal variation of the Chinese classic tofu dish.
Sansho is the main flavor. It is the Japanese Sichuan pepper. The plant is very similar but used differently from the standard Chinese cuisine. I mean I have seen them gather green sansho and cook it in the South of China, but over the world other places only the dry mature (pink) Sichuan peppercorns are known.
