Spices can differ depending on people’s tastes but this ranking is to give you an idea of how I define each dish or recipe on this blog and how spicy it would be for you. I chose chilli sauces, peppers and establishments with various choices on the menu that I am familiar with so I would recommend taking a look at the pepper scale to find out what kind of dishes you want to eat or recreate.

The ultimate spice. Eat with extreme caution.
CoCo Ichibanya 10辛

From the look of the dish, it’ll be a peppery challenge.
Habanero
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
High level of spice. An immediate fiery taste once you take a bite into this dish.
Sichuan
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
A spice that tingles and burns your tongue more than your throat.
Vindaloo
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
More deadly and peppery than it seems.
Gochujang
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Medium level of spice. The peppery flavour lasts much longer than usual.
Sriracha
🌶️🌶️🌶️
More sweet than spicy and can linger a little. You can eat in larger doses in your food.
Nandos Peri-peri
🌶️🌶️
A little tingle of heat but not even a kick.
Wicked Zinger
🌶️
Standard level of spice. Equivalent to what you find peppery from fast food.
