Furikake was originally developed in Japan around 1912 by a pharmacist as a helpful solution to nutrition deficits. Then it was called Gohan No Tomo, A Friend for Rice. It was then a ground product to be sprinkled on top of cooked rice, vegetables, and fish. Over the last 100 years Furikake has developed into the product we know today.
Nori Goma Furikake is one of the most popular and basic Furikakes in Japan. Nori Goma Furikake has color, texture and a traditional taste. You get an emerald green look and a fresh sea taste from the small nori squares. A delightful crunch and nutty sesame taste from the Toasted White sesame seeds. A perfect balance of sweet and savory from a dash of sea salt and sugar. Use Aji Nori Furikake as a tasty topping for a variety of dishes.
