Marumiya Furikake Japanese Rice Seasonings 5 packs (5.04oz) noritama,sukiyaki,okaka(bonito),tarako（cod roe)

Seriously sukiyaki flavor is so damn good. I felt like I wasn't even eating rice anymore just blasts of flavor.I love the variety you get with this sampler, it's just a shame that the price was raised since I purchased this 3 years ago. You can buy these individual packets in Japan for like 100 yen (around $1 +tax).So a pack of 5 for $13 bucks? That's quite the markup even if the cost of shipping from Japan is included...I'll include the names of each packet in english-ish in case you want to search for individual flavors! :)Flavor profile of the other packets for the curious.- Tarako (Pink Packet)Slightly fishy taste. It'll get a little mushier than the other seasonings. Tarako is supposed to be pollock or cod roe flavor. If you like that, you'll enjoy this one.- Noritama (Green Packet)Nori = the toasty seaweed. Tama = short for tamago, or egg. This is basically egg + toasted seaweed. The egg is more powdery and crunchy. You taste mostly the nori/toasted seaweed.- Bonito-Egg-Seaweed (purple package)The remaining two tasty very similar. The only difference is the purple one has those egg sprinkles that the noritama packet does.- Bonito-Seaweed (black package)Same flavor profile as purple package, but slightly more umami.

There are essentially only two (2) big brands in Furikake (rice seasoning)...Marumiya and Nagatanien. Both are great, but IMO (and both are sold here on Amazon), Marumiya is the clear winner. I lost over 100 pounds swithcing to a primarily rice-based diet. Furikake allowed me to "fool" my tastebuds into thinking I was eating something other than "just jasmine sticky rice." What these various Furikake seasonings do is to "trick" your taste buds by making your rice taste like an entirely different dish/meal. Think about it, rice that taste like your eating scrambled eggs? Rice that tastes like your eating a steak, chicken, salmon, etc.? At first I thought it was magic. I don't read Japanese, nor am I asian, so I cannot tell you if all the ingredients are natural (either way, it's "MAGIC" to me). Highly recommended. As I said before, Marumiya is my preferred brand of Furikake over Nagatanien (which is not as "flavorful").

My husband loves this on his rice. He is Asian and this is a very typical thing that Japanese and people from Hawaii use. it saves me time as well as saves me money. It is fairly expensive at the Asian markets. This gives a nice variety for him. I will definitely buy again.

I took a chance ordering these because the price is about what I pay at my local Japanese market without the stress of driving in traffic. Unfortunately four of my five packets have wheat flour or bread crumbs as ingredients. (thank you Google Translate app because these, unlike the ones I normally buy, don’t come with english stickers)

If you like Japanese food then yes this test good 😊

My absolute favorite.

These packets of furikake are precisely the same product we would buy when we lived in Japan. The packets came nicely packaged, and the "use by date" is quite far out time wise, so there is no concern about them becoming out of date quickly. Very happy to have this brand of furikake available to eat in the U.S.

Each flavor is delicious! I mix 1 envelope into 2 cups of cooked rice. It adds the perfect flavor to every meal.
