furikake japanese seasoning mix

Furikake, the savory Japanese seasonings for sprinkling on rice, merits an entire section even in Manhattan’s tinyest Japanese markets. And if you’ve had it, you understand why: It enlivens a plain bowl of rice—add some mayo[link to Japanese Mayo recipe] and a fried egg and you can call it a meal (I relied heavily on furikake when I lived in a dorm room with just a rice cooker for making dinner). Furikake taste good on almost any savory food you can imagine; you’ll find yourself shaking it onto salad, popcorn, and soup.
