Furikake - Ume and Sesame - 200g

Furikake – Ume and Sesame – 200g

Blended exclusively by sesame master Takehiro Wada of Wadaman, this Ume and Sesame Furikake delivers a perfect balance of crunch, nuttiness, saltiness, and tartness. The combination of black and white sesame seeds, freeze-dried Japanese pickled plum (umeboshi), shoyu, salt, and aosa seaweed creates a furikake with vibrant colour, complex flavour, and an enticing texture.

Traditionally used as a garnish for rice, this furikake is incredibly versatile. Try it as a Japanese-inspired dukkah, paired with bread and butter or extra virgin olive oil, or use it as a flavourful coating for fresh goat’s chèvre. Its unique mix of nutty sesame, umami-rich seaweed, and bright umeboshi tartness makes it a standout ingredient in any dish.
