What is Bell pepper?
Pīman are a Japanese variety of bell peppers. The name is derived from the French piment or the Spanish pimiento . They are used for cooking. Commonly the green, immature ones are used, but the riper ones seem to become more popular nowadays. Pīman are thinner than Western bell peppers and have a mild bitter flavor. Hot (chili) peppers are referred to as tōgarashi, which is also the name of a spicy powder used as condiment.
