    Its nanami- seven different spices. Also called shichimi

    That reproductive harm warning is on everything that is sold in California.

    The California Proposition 65 warning is a requirement on all products in California that contain [certain chemicals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_65_list_of_chemicals). Even some older buildings have this warning on them.

    The podcast *99% Invisible* did an episode on it some years back if you’re interested – [WARNING: This Podcast Contains Chemicals Known to the State of California to Cause Cancer or Other Reproductive Harm](https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/warning-this-podcast-contains-chemicals-known-to-the-state-of-california-to-cause-cancer-or-other-reproductive-harm/)

    With Japanese food, it’s often [seaweed related](https://legalclarity.org/why-does-seaweed-have-a-prop-65-warning/).

    nanami mix – typically red chili pepper, orange peel, black sesame seed, white sesame seed, Japanese pepper (Sansho), ginger, and seaweed

    Prop 65 is one of those well meaning laws that passed but they lost plot over time. Here’s the list of chemicals on prop 65. [https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/chemicals](https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/chemicals)

    A LOT of food importers don’t bother trying to figure out if their food should actually require a Prop 65 warning, and rather just slap one on because everyone in CA already ignores them

    Short Answer: If an importer of international foods does not want to do the product safety testing that California requires, on a regular basis, they can just put the warning in it instead.

    Edit: as for the “tasting weird” part, IIRC, S&B Nanami Torigashi contains ground ginger and citrus peel, which is going to give it more tangy and tongue bite than just capsaisins.

    What is your question? Are you asking what it is? Are you around about the last seconds of your clip about the warning? Do you not think it is what you thought you bought?

    A little bit on karaage chicken can do wonders. 😋
