Usage of wine comes from living in the Bay Area. Feel free to use either white or red wines instead of both. If you do not have sake, you can sub white wine. You can purchase shichimi togarashi which is a Japanese 7 spice pepper mixture often used in soups, meats, and veggies. You can also find a recipe in recipezaar by typing shichimi togarashi.
