What it is?
These three unique Caribbean spice blends transport your senses and transform your ingredients with fragrant warmth from Haiti, smoky spice from Jamaica, and delightful coffee-and-citrus notes from Nicaragua. Includes 1 jar of Cali Jerk Smoke, 1 jar of Mama Manje and 1 jar of Mombacho Café. Origin & Sourcing Jamaica, Haiti & Nicaragua Once in an alleyway izakaya in Tokyo, I took the bite of a lifetime from a beautifully blistered chicken skewer straight off the hibachi grill. While the flavor imparted from the smoldering white oak binchotan charcoal would have been a succulent miracle on its own, sprinkling a pinch—at the chef’s suggestion—of shichimi togarashi, a Japanese seven-spice wallop that garnishes everything from ramen to yakitori, was metamorphic. Kissed by Binchotan originated in that moment, and over time the blend has been fine-tuned to hit all the right notes: Togarashi for heat, a fruity tang from tangerine peel, nutty sesame seeds and the umami of roasted seaweed. Proven to transform any meat or vegetable licked by flames and give a simple bowl of rice flavor dimensions previously unknown, lightly dusting the powder on straight-from-the-skillet fried chicken is the future food obsession you didn’t know you had.
