FURIKAKE BLEND

Furikake is an indispensable seasoning in Japanese cuisine, much like salt and pepper are here. This blend of black and white sesame seeds, wasabi, palm sugar and nori seaweed gives dishes a unique, savory flavor with a slight heat and a note of umami. In Japan it is often used as a topping for rice, but it is also ideal for many other uses.

Savory, umami, slightly hot with a hint of sweetness and an earthy freshness of seaweed.

Furikake is excellent for salads, soups, rice balls, sushi and of course all kinds of fish dishes. Simply sprinkle over rice or vegetables or use as an ingredient in marinated fish dishes to experience the authentic flavor of Japanese cuisine.

Furikake was created in Japan in the early 20th century as a practical way to add variety to rice. Today there are countless regional variations – from mild to very savory, with fish, egg or additional herbs. It is seen as a symbol of the diversity of Japanese everyday cooking and combines quick preparation with deep aroma. In bento boxes, furikake adds not only flavor but also splashes of color.
