It is flavored with the powdered leaves and twigs of "gesho" ("Rhamnus prinoides"), a hops-like bittering agent that is a species of buckthorn.

Illicium anisatum Illicium anisatum, with common names Japanese star anise, aniseed tree, and sacred anise tree, known in Japan as Shikimi (樒 , シキミ) , is a tree closely related to the Chinese star anise. Since it is highly toxic, the fruit is not edible; instead, the dried and powdered leaves are burned as incense in Japan. Its branches and evergreen leaves are considered sacred by Japanese Buddhists due to its ability to remain fresh after pruning.
