furikake
Japanese rice seasoning
Furikake is a Japanese seasoning sprinkled over rice or other foods.
It typically contains dried fish, sesame seeds, seaweed, salt, and sugar, though varieties abound.
The mixture adds flavor and texture to plain rice: I keep furikake on the table next to the soy sauce.
It has become a pantry staple beyond Japanese cuisine, appearing on popcorn, avocado toast, and grilled vegetables.
