Description

Bring authentic Japanese tapas to your commercial kitchen with our premium bulk Wholesale Fresh Shishito Chiles. Notably, the name comes from “shishi,” the Japanese word for lion, referencing the creased tip that resembles a lion’s head. Additionally, Shishitos deliver a vegetal, grassy flavor with subtle citrus notes and gentle pepper. As a result, executive chefs at Japanese, izakaya, and Mediterranean small-plate concepts feature them in signature blistered preparations. The peppers carry mostly mild heat, but roughly one in ten pods packs a noticeably hotter kick. This “Shishito roulette” gives the dish its signature dining excitement. The traditional preparation — blistered in hot oil, finished with sea salt — has become a fixture of modern American restaurant menus. At Green Lion Produce Inc., we specialize in distributing fresh wholesale produce to the food service industry, providing expert logistical handling.

Features:

• Mild Japanese Heat with Vegetal-Citrus Notes: Shishitos deliver grassy, citrusy flavor with mostly mild heat. Therefore, kitchens use them for signature blistered small plates, yakitori sides, and tapas-style finger food.
• Physical Traits & Culinary Application: Slim, slightly wrinkled finger-like pods (2–4 inches) with thin bright green skin. As a result, they work well for blistered tapas, tempura, yakitori, char-grilled sides, and bulk small-plate menus.
• Wholesale Produce Procurement: Each batch is inspected at intake for freshness and grade. We source only through vetted wholesale supply partners.
• Wholesale Distribution Reliability: We transport peppers via our commercial logistics network. Additionally, careful handling protects the delicate skin. Consequently, wholesale partners receive consistent quality.
