Shishito Pepper
Shishito is the beloved Japanese finger pepper that has taken the culinary world by storm — small, thin-walled, wrinkled green peppers blistered in a screaming-hot cast iron pan until charred and tender, then finished with flaky sea salt. The flavor is mild, sweet, and smoky, with an occasional surprise hot one that keeps the snacking experience thrillingly unpredictable. Simple, addictive, and endlessly impressive for guests, the blistered shishito has become one of the definitive small plates of modern cooking.
