- Origin: Japan, Korea, China
- Flowers: Greeny-yellow flowers in April-May; Male and female varieties.

"A little body often harbors a great soul."
Pon is still flying from eating the pepper, but then the effect wears off and he falls back down to the ground.
Explanation
Literally: Even a small grain of Japanese pepper is bitingly hot.
Haven't you found that the smallest chili peppers are usually the hottest? Well, the same applies to Japanese "sansho" pepper-and many times, to people and things around us. This is why we must avoid judging a book by its cover, remembering that, indeed, good things also come in small packages. Pon made the mistake of underestimating the potency of the tiny, apparently innocuous, sansho pepper. It seems he got a free ride out of it, though.
