In Japan, it is translated as "spices" and is used to mean vegetable flavorings, seasonings, condiments, etc. According to Webster's Dictionary, "spices are obtained from various aromatic plants such as pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, allspice, ginger, and cloves, and are used to flavor food during cooking or to flavor sauces and pickles. They are usually in powder form. They are also seasonings made by mixing these." In general, spices are condiments that improve the taste of food and improve or change the quality of food ingredients in small amounts, and they are condiments that give food flavor, spiciness, and even stimulating and pleasant aromas. The diversity and versatility of tastes and aromas is what makes spices unique.

Japanese:

日本では香辛料と訳され、植物性の香味料、あるいは調味料、薬味などを含んだ意味に使われている。『ウェブスター辞典』によれば、「ペパー、シナモン、ナツメグ、メース、オールスパイス、ジンジャー、クローブなどの種々の芳香性植物から得られるもので、調理の際に食物に味をつけたり、ソースやピクルスなどに香味をつけたりするのに用いられる、いわば植物性の調味料または薬味であり、普通は粉末状である。さらにこれらを混ぜ合わせた調味料である」と定義されている。一般的に、スパイスは食物の味をととのえ、少量で食品素材の品質を高めたり変化を与えたりするもので、風味や辛味、さらには刺激的な香りや快い香味を食物に付与する薬味である。味や香りの多様性、多面性がスパイスの持ち味である。
