[Original Case Pack: 25 units] Literally meaning “sprinkles”, furikake is Japanese savory flakes commonly used as a topping over rice. There are a number of different types, but shiso furikake is one of the most popular kinds thanks to shiso leaf’s refreshing aroma, beautiful color, and high nutritional value. Umami Insider's Shiso Furikake is made using red shiso grown in Wakayama Prefecture and umesu, a byproduct of making umeboshi, salt-cured “ume” plum. Shiso, a Japanese herb, is carefully moisten and massaged with umesu—the liquid naturally produced when salt-curing plums—dry it using hot air, and then make it into flakes. This process helps the final product retain its fresh shiso flavor and aroma. You can use Shiso Furikake not only as a sprinkling over rice but also for many other dishes such as cheese, avocado toast, noodles, grilled meat, pasta, salad, and more. This furikake is made using only 2 ingredients. No additives and MSG are used. How to use this Shiso Furikake: With the soothing aroma from shiso and the mildly salty and fruity flavor from umesu, Shiso Furikake can instantly brighten up your dish. Just sprinkle it over rice, rice balls, tofu, salad, mozzarella, baked potato, or tempura, to add a sensational kick. It can also be used as a seasoning for steamed dishes, stir-fries, deep-fries and plates like meatballs and schnitzel. You can make a wonderful shiso pasta sauce by mixing it with olive oil, a shiso dip with mayonnaise, or a shiso pickling sauce with vinegar.
