Furikake is sold in the world food aisle of larger UK supermarkets and more reliably at Japanese and Asian grocers, both in shops and online. It is sometimes labelled simply as rice seasoning.
Where to look
- The world food or Japanese food section of larger supermarkets.
- Asian supermarkets, which usually stock several flavour varieties.
- Online Japanese grocery retailers, for the widest choice of blends.
What to check on the label
Furikake blends vary in whether they contain fish (usually bonito flakes), so check the ingredients if you need a vegetarian version. Flavoured blends like wasabi or salmon are less common on UK supermarket shelves than the plain sesame and nori version.
