Yuzu-pepper cream pasta

So many people moved on September 1st in Boston!  One of my friends did also and I helped him. After his moving, we had a moving party tonight.  He loves pasta and Japanese seasoning so I tried to make some pasta with Japanese seasoning.

Do you know "Yuzu-pepper" (柚子胡椒) ?  Yuzu is a kind of Japanese citrus.  It has so nice flavor and is very popular in Japan.  Yuzu-pepper sounds like a black pepper but actually tastes not like.  It is mainly made from yuzu, green chili and salt.  It is not just hot but also full of citrus flavor.  Japanese people use this seasoning for yakitori, Udon and Nabe... Anyway, Japanese people love it and of course my friend and I love so much also!!
