How It's Made
Pacific sea salt carrying Ghost, Scorpion and Reaper peppers—meticulously extracted, blended and tempered in our proprietary infusion—balanced with yuzu citrus, shiitake, rice vinegar and turmeric.Flavor
Savory heat meets rich umami with a crisp, tart finish. The fiery kick is balanced by bright yuzu citrus and the depth of shiitake mushroom. Rice vinegar adds a clean sharpness while turmeric brings warmth and earthiness. Spicy, refreshing, and complex.The Story

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
- Season ramen, udon, or stir-fried noodles
- Top grilled fish, shrimp, or scallops
- Add depth to miso soup, bone broth, or dashi
- Sprinkle on edamame, steamed dumplings, or gyoza
- Rim a sake cocktail, yuzu sour, or Japanese highball
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

Bought this after trying the "Hotter Stuff", and im blown away. I like it way more than i expected. Purchased to go on more asian style dishes, but now i put it on everything. From pizza to Mexican food it goes great on it all. Would recommend to everyone and will be making another Yuzu purchase when this is gone.
Stumbled across this site quite by accident looking for a unique thank you gift. Ordered two sets on a whim and so glad I did. The pushers/salts were a big hit and I’ll be coming back for more in the future. Don’t pass up the opportunity to make yourself and others happy with the perfect gift.
