Literally 'one-flavor chili pepper,' meaning it contains only chili pepper with no other spices mixed in. Contrast with 七味唐辛子(しちみとうがらし) (seven-spice chili blend), which combines chili with ingredients like 山椒(さんしょう) (Japanese pepper), 陳皮(ちんぴ) (dried citrus peel), and sesame. Often shortened to 一味(いちみ) in casual speech. A staple condiment at 蕎麦(そば) and udon restaurants.
