Grow Your Own Crisp & Sweet Fushimi Peppers

Discover the joy of growing Fushimi Sweet Pepper Seeds, a beloved Japanese heirloom variety prized for its delicate crunch and mild, sweet flavor. Perfect for snacking straight from the vine or adding a fresh twist to tempura, stir-fries, and grilling, these peppers are a must-have for any home gardener or culinary enthusiast.

Why Choose Fushimi Sweet Pepper Seeds?

Unlike ordinary sweet peppers, Fushimi peppers boast ultra-thin walls and a vibrant green hue that turns red when fully ripe. Their crisp texture outshines even Shishito peppers, making them ideal for quick sautés with sesame oil or pickling. These prolific plants yield 6" narrow pods all season long on compact 24" plants. They are perfect for containers or garden beds.

Key Features:

Heat Level: None - Pure sweet flavor
Growth: 80 days to harvest; thrives in full sun
Yield: Heavy producer from early summer through fall
Versatility: Excellent grilled, pickled, or raw
Heirloom: 10 seeds per packet, open-pollinated

Easy Growing Tips:

Start Fushimi Sweet Pepper Seeds indoors 8 weeks before last frost. Plant 1/4" deep in warm soil (85°F) and keep moist. Transplant after 6 true leaves appear, spacing 24" apart. Harvest when peppers reach full size when green for classic crispness or red for sweeter notes.

Customers praised these Japanese heirloom pepper seeds as "extremely prolific" with strong plants producing abundant harvests. Most noted excellent germination rates and "best tasting" flavor. One customer mentioned lower initial germination. Shoppers love blistering them with olive oil and salt, comparing favorably to shishito peppers.

Power house pepper

This pepper did really well with very little issues in zone 9b. Had so many peppers to cook in a little bit of olive oil, salt and at times other added ingredients. Best tasting, some were a little hot which I liked. Better than Shishito peppers.

A season’s review of Fushimi

Initially these peppers gave me some trouble getting started. Comparatively there was a lower germination rate as compared to the other seeds I purchased from this site. Growing indoors was also not as easy for this variety. However, once I moved outdoors the plants grew strong and tall. The pods were numerous, healthy, and changed from green to red as they ripened. No heat whatsoever. The pods have a meatiness to them that is different from a shishito but still have a vegetal flavor when green and a bit sweeter when red. The pod had a medium-low quantity of seeds and are relatively thin-walled. I really was pleasantly surprised and am thankful I managed to enjoy its fruit!

The Ultimate Pepper!

Found Fushimi after discovering Shishito peppers! Have them in our garden for years now. You simply pick, rinse, heat a skillet with a bit of oil, toss in the peppers and put a little char on 'em! Into a bowl, toss with a bit of salt and presto.....the best appetizer in the world!

Highly Recommend

I am a volunteer grower for a nonprofit and last year we added Fushimi peppers to our Spring Plant Sale offerings. Here in Northern Colorado, zone 5, these lovely, no heat peppers grew like champs. Extremely prolific, each plant provided us with an abundant harvest every few days over the span of several months. We used them mostly as a tapas style dish, blistering them in a cast iron skillet with olive oil and sea salt, and topped with feta cheese. If you like Shishito peppers, you will like these as well.

Best Fushimi Seeds

We love these thin-walled and glossy bright green Japanese peppers! Very prolific, and tasty, too. We had great success with your seeds, nearly every one sprouted. Thank you.

Pepper time!

Here in southern California, in zone 9B, it's not hard to grow good peppers. However, these little guys have been producing like crazy! Hardy plants that germinated and transplanted really well and have exceeded my expectations. Will have these in the garden again for sure! Thanks.
