Furikake is a dry Japanese seasoning made from a blend of seaweed (nori), sesame seeds, dried fish (such as bonito or salmon), salt, and other flavourful ingredients. It’s typically used as a topping for rice, noodles, vegetables, and more to add umami and crunch.

Simply sprinkle furikake over steamed rice, sushi bowls, noodles, eggs, salads, soups, or even popcorn for an instant burst of flavour. It’s a versatile seasoning that enhances both traditional and fusion dishes.

Some furikake blends contain dried fish, such as bonito or salmon, while others are made with just seaweed, sesame, and seasonings. Check the ingredients list for vegetarian or vegan-friendly options.

Some furikake seasonings may include MSG (monosodium glutamate) to enhance umami flavour, while others are made with natural seasonings. If you're looking for an MSG-free option, be sure to check the product details.

Keep furikake in a cool, dry place and seal the package tightly after opening to maintain freshness. Some varieties may require refrigeration after opening—check the packaging for specific storage instructions.

Absolutely! Furikake is delicious on noodles, soups, roasted vegetables, tofu, avocado toast, scrambled eggs, and even snacks like popcorn or fries. Get creative and experiment with different dishes!

Most furikake seasonings have a savoury and umami-rich taste, but some varieties include wasabi, chilli flakes, or spicy cod roe for extra heat. Look for specific flavour descriptions if you prefer mild or spicy options.
