How It's Made
Ghost, Scorpion and Reaper peppers—meticulously extracted, blended and tempered in our proprietary infusion—layered with ginger, tamari, wasabi and a touch of cane sugar. Made in small batches of 50: here today, gone tomorrow.Flavor
Savory-sweet with real depth. Ginger warmth arrives first, followed by the umami richness of tamari and a sharp wasabi edge that fades into mild, familiar pepper heat. Cane sugar rounds everything out. Layers that keep revealing themselves.The Story
This Buddy Batch was made for Mike O’Dowd. I met Mike at the first annual Operation 300 Frogman Shoot and instantly loved the dude. This blend is inspired by that kind of person: a stoic with an easy smile and quick wit. Someone who will eat grocery store sushi and slap a mustache on a mermaid without missing a shot. If you know, you know.

The Peppers
No Scoville rating on the finished salt. The heat comes from these peppers, meticulously extracted, blended and tempered in our proprietary infusion:
Ghost Pepper
1,040,000+ SHU of robust, fruity heat that spreads quickly then rests evenly on the palette, accentuating flavors and textures while incinerating tension away into the ether.
Scorpion Pepper
1,800,000+ SHU of sweet, earthy flavor with saturated depth, and a swelling, relentless sting that builds steadily, then smolders and chars throughout the body, bringing agony induced euphoria.
Reaper Pepper
2,200,000+ SHU of pungent floral aroma strikes immediately and drives stabbing, sharp heat to its violent peak intensity in an instant and then quietly tapers into a crucible of delirium.
Where It Shines
- Finish sushi, sashimi, or poke bowls
- Top stir fry, fried rice, or noodle bowls
- Season grilled salmon, tuna, or shrimp
- Sprinkle on steamed dumplings, gyoza, or spring rolls
- Add to ramen, udon, or miso soup
- Rim a ginger cocktail, sake bomb, or Asian-inspired mule
Precision Dosing
The precision-milled push grinder delivers over 500 measured presses per fill—about 3 cents per press. Each press is an exact dose, not a pinch of powder, and the heat stops when you stop pressing.Why Not Just Hot Sauce?
Unlike liquid hot sauce or chili powder:
- Nothing artificial—real ingredients, real infusion
- No dilution of dish
- Heat stops when you stop grinding
- Shelf-stable, refillable, travel-friendly
