【Can’t forget these on your rice!】Noteworthy Rice Seasonings♡

Payke writer Reina here!
Do you guys know what “furikake (rice seasoning)” is?
Rice seasoning is a topping that you sprinkle on top of rice to eat.
It is actually part of Japan’s unique food culture.
A pack of rice seasoning can allow you to get plenty of calcium and so it is very healthy!
Nowadays, there seems to be places in other countries where the word “furikake” could be understood too.
This time, I will introduce a few of the rice seasonings that I recommend!

“A Classic, Super Long-Seller from Marumiya Foods”
Noritama (Seaweed and Eggs)


After its release in 1960, it has been an item that the Japanese can no longer let go.
Speaking of Marumiya, they are now a major rice seasoning manufacturer.
Ever since there was talk about how they began to include eggs into their ingredients, which was a high-quality product back in the days, it has been loved by many people for many years.

The exquisite balance between the seaweed and eggs, the slight sweetness that lingers in your mouth- I can understand why this is a long-seller!
I’ve also loved the noritama seasoning for a long time, and I constantly keep an extra stock at home.
The crunchy texture is irresistible!

“Juicy, tender, soft furikake”
Chirimen Zanshō (Dried Young Sardines with Japanese Pepper)


Another product sold by Marumiya.
The combination of the calcium-rich dried young sardines and the Japanese peppers make a very delicious finished product.

When you try it, you can enjoy its mild flavors along with a kick of spice from the Japanese peppers.
I highly recommend to those who are struggling with their nutrition!

“Mishima Foods, bringing out the natural flavors of its ingredients”
Yukari


This product was made for shiso rice (rice flavored with shiso leaves).
Yukari is yet another familiar rice seasoning flavor for Japanese people.

Once you eat it, you may become addicted to its saltiness.
Since it goes well with rice, you won’t be able to stop your chopsticks!

“Nagatanien Foods, overturning popular belief”
Rice Seasoning for Adults: Bonito


A product that had 99% of people experience its deliciousness for 3 consecutive years.
The old, general belief that “rice seasoning = children’s food” was overturned when the concept of “rice seasoning for adults” became an explosive hit.

As you can see in this photo, there’s plenty of seaweed.
The crispy texture of the seaweed brings out the savory flavors of the bonito.
Since this product is separated into 5 individual bags, it is very useful to bring on the go when you are craving some rice seasoning!

What do you think?
For those who do not have much time to prepare a meal or struggle to maintain their nutritional balance, rice seasoning is a product that will allow you to make delicious rice effortlessly!
