From my taste test of the piece of pepper included with the seeds, I would put it at the same heat level as a Shish ito. And the description of how it is used matches how the restaurant uses it.
Ten Pu La is a beautiful pepper-no heat and not much flavor either but it should work for frying with lots of Schichimi Togarashi spice. The plant is stately too-tall, beautiful foliage and just hanging with green and red peppers.
