  As someone who loves cooking, the thing I look forward to most every time I visit Japan is browsing local supermarkets and discovering all kinds of great seasonings. I happened to find this Momoya chili oil at a supermarket, and after trying it once, I became a loyal customer. It has been a great help in the kitchen.

  It looks bright red and very spicy, but it actually isn't that hot. Whether I use it to make wontons in chili oil or simple dry noodles, just a small spoonful instantly fills the entire dish with aroma. Its enticing fragrance is truly different from ordinary chili oil and perfectly enhances the food's flavor.

  Besides the chili oil, I also recommend their butter garlic chips series, which is equally excellent. These are both kitchen staples that I quietly stock up on and buy again every time I visit Japan. I sincerely recommend them to anyone who enjoys cooking.

  This chili oil from Momoya is a favorite that I’ll keep buying again and again! It’s not too spicy, just right for people who like a little heat. It’s very fragrant without overpowering the flavor of the food itself. I usually add a little when making noodle soup, and it instantly gives the whole bowl a fragrant, spicy flavor—simple and delicious. It also goes really well mixed into dipping sauce for dumplings. It’s a very useful bottle of chili oil to have at home, and I use it often. Most importantly, the small jar is more hygienic, so there’s no need to worry about it sitting around for too long.

  This is really delicious. The spiciness isn't as strong as Laoganma chili sauce back home, but it has a rich, deep flavor. It's also gentle on the stomach. Sometimes when I don't have much of an appetite, I put it in a sandwich and it really hits the spot. My favorite chili sauce!
