The exact spices used in this hot seasoning vary slightly by maker but usually include a combination of the following: powdered red chili pepper, black pepper, sesame seeds, dried mandarin orange peel, green nori seaweed flakes, prickly ash pods, hemp seeds and poppy seeds. It is sprinkled over noodle and nabe(refers to a variety of communal one-pot meals) dishes and yakitori.

Allspice:
Allspice, also called Jamaica pepper, Myrtle pepper, pimento[1] , or newspice, is a spice which is the dried unripe fruit of the Pimenta dioica plant. The name "allspice" was coined by the English, who thought it combined the flavour of several spices, such as salt, chili powder, and garlic.
Allspice has a complex aroma, hence its name. It is an aromatic spice with a taste similar to a combination of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, but hotter and more peppery.

Seven spice is a japanese flavouring which usually contains red chilli, sancho, white sesame seeds, seaweed flakes, bits of dried mandarin orange peel, black hemp seeds and white poppy seeds.
Allspice is the name of the pimento berry. It is called allspice as it is said to resemble a mix of other spices ( like cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves ).
Five spice is sometimes called seven spice ... some brands could more accurately be labeled "seven-spice powder," since they contain seven ingredients. A standard recipe calls for fennel, cloves, and cinnamon, along with star anise and Szechuan peppercorns. However, you'll also find five-spice powder made with cassia (a member of the same family as cinnamon), ginger, nutmeg, and even licorice (star anise has a wonderful licorice flavor). Same thing w/ allspice.
