The Santaka pepper, also recognized as the Japones Santaka chile pepper or simply 'Asian Hot,' hails from Japan. This pepper variety, classified as a mirasol type (meaning its fruits naturally point towards the sun), exhibits a distinctive cone shape, measuring approximately two inches in length and up to an inch in width, tapering to a teardrop point. When it's time for harvesting, the fruit boasts a thin, slightly wrinkled skin, transitioning from green to a vibrant red hue. The plant itself produces delicate white flowers, making it not only a culinary delight but also an aesthetically pleasing addition to any garden.
