The History of Furikake

Furikake was first developed in Japan at the beginning of the 20th century. Pharmacist Suekichi Yoshimaru from Kumamoto created a blend of ground fish, sesame, and seaweed to combat calcium deficiency in the population. He called his first mix “Gohan no Tomo” (“Friend of Rice”) and is considered the inventor of Furikake. In the 1920s and 1930s, manufacturers such as Marumiya and later Tanaka adopted the idea and began producing Furikake industrially.

By the 1950s, Furikake had become popular throughout Japan. Back then, it consisted mainly of fish flakes, seaweed, and sesame, and today it is known and loved worldwide. Whether classic with nori and egg, plant-based with shiso and vegetables, spicy with wasabi and chili, or modern with green tea – today Furikake is available in countless flavors, in vegan versions, and even in Western-inspired varieties. With its unmistakable umami taste, it delights gourmets not only in Japan but all over the world.
