This furikake is an artisanal rice seasoning crafted in Saga, Japan. It’s a blend of 6 premium ingredients carefully chosen to deliver layered umami, aroma, and texture that elevate even the simplest dishes from onigiri rice balls to composed plates.
A blend of 6 premium ingredients:
- Nori (Dried Seaweed)
Harvested from the Ariake Sea, one of Japan’s most prized nori-growing regions. Instead of flattening it like regular nori, it's dried and roasted in the exact form it was harvested, which brings out deep umami, subtle sweetness, and lingering ocean aroma.
- Toasted Sesame Seeds
Gently roasted to release their natural oils, these sesame seeds add warmth and nuttiness that round out the marine notes of the nori. Sourced from Saga, selected for its well balance of sweetness and aromatic intensity.
- Katsuobushi (Bonito Flakes)
Made in Makurazaki, Kagoshima, Japan’s most respected bonito-producing region. These flakes bring a smoky, fermented umami that gives the furikake its savory backbone.
- Ureshino Green Tea (Ichibancha)
Ureshino is one of Japan’s oldest tea-growing regions in Kyushu. Ureshino Green Tea adds a subtle vegetal freshness and rounded umami. These tea leaves are Ichibancha, which means it’s full of aroma and flavor since it’s made from the very first harvest of the year.
- Island Sea Salt
Naturally produced from the waters off Kato Island, Saga, this salt is clean, soft, and mineral-balanced, allowing each ingredient to remain clearly expressed.
- Artisanal Soy Sauce
This soy sauce is naturally brewed and fermented for 2 years. A small amount of high-quality soy sauce ties everything together, contributing depth and a touch of fermentation-driven complexity that amplifies umami.
Use this premium furikake as a finishing touch on rice, seafood, eggs, tofu, vegetables, or even Western dishes where a layer of Japanese umami can transform the whole plate.
