for the green bottle in the fourth picture, it's sanshou, 'japanese pepper' i believe. the raw/unprocessed leaves of the sanshou are like uber fragrant and i consider it to be one of the best things i've ever had the pleasure of tasting/smelling.
goes great w/ grilled items such as anago and unagi x]

the red bottle, i believe, is ichimi togarashi. If you're familiar w/ 'shichimi togarashi' it's just the pepper flakes w/o everything else (ichimi - one spice | shichimi - seven spice)



In the shadows beneath the trees he waits.
In the darkness under the moon he plots
In the silence of the night he kills.
