We go to PFI (Pacific Food Importers) in Seattle's International District on occasion, and I buy at least a couple of unfamiliar spices or spice blends from their ample bulk foods section each time, then figure out ways to use them once I get home. Among my recent favorites are the Basque and Cuban mojo spice blends. They also have Aleppo pepper and Ras al Hanout in bulk.

Marydave - thanks for this tip - Aleppo pepper is getting scarce at my usual source.

Thanks for the tip, marydave. I haven’t been to PFI and will have to check out their spices!

At least they had Aleppo pepper the last time I was there, but it has been a few months so I hope they continue to stock it.

Another spice mix I like is Shichimi
it is mildly spicy and adds a flavor I can't quite describe other than it's "Japanese"
I like it in soup and on noodles. It is real good on grilled or pan fried tuna (not canned) too.

Is that a "brand", or a "flavor" name? When you say it "tastes Japanese", my impression is that it might be a blend of a number of elements commonly used together in Japanese cuisine. Penzy's Spices is known for that - they come up with their own concoctions of different common herbs/spices, then give the blend a fancy name.

Sounds scrumptious. Gonna look for it. Surprised that it's mostly red (thus more chili); as I expected it might be green (heavier on the nori). Time for a trip to Uwajimaya! Thanks again.
