SUI of Tokyo Katsuo Shigure Bonito Flurikake 2.8oz — Yaizu bonito, kombu & shiitake umami topper

SUI of Tokyo Katsuo Shigure is a premium bonito flurikake—yaizu-sourced bonito flakes simmered with kombu and shiitake, blended with chirimen and sesame for a natural, additive-free umami topper.

Designed in Japan for everyday meals, this furikake brings layered savory depth without preservatives or MSG. The recipe centers on Yaizu katsuobushi, a traditionally processed bonito known for clean, smoky notes, then slow-simmered with kelp (kombu) and shiitake dashi to build complexity. Finished with tiny dried fish (chirimen) and toasted sesame, the seasoning is finely textured so it distributes evenly across rice, onigiri, vegetables, and grilled proteins.

How will this furikake change my rice and onigiri?

SUI of Tokyo’s Katsuo Shigure turns plain rice into a flavorful base with immediate aroma and savory taste. The small particle size lets you fold it into rice or press it into onigiri without affecting texture, adding umami and subtle crunch from sesame.

• Sprinkle evenly for an aromatic finish on steamed rice
• Mix into onigiri for consistent flavor through each bite
• Use as a finishing touch for donburi, bento, or rice bowls

What makes the ingredients in this blend special?

Each component is chosen to contribute a distinct savory or textural note: Yaizu bonito for smoky umami, kombu and shiitake dashi for roundness, chirimen for marine saltiness, and sesame for nutty crunch. The product is made in Japan using time-honored techniques, and the label lists no artificial additives.

• Yaizu bonito flakes—traditional katsuobushi processing for depth
• Kombu and shiitake dashi—natural umami without chemical enhancers
• Chirimen and sesame—texture and balanced saltiness
• Additive-free—no preservatives, no MSG, non-GMO ingredients

How can I use this furikake beyond rice?

Furikake is versatile: sprinkle it over steamed vegetables, blend into sauces or salad dressings, top avocado toast, or finish grilled fish and chicken for instant umami. Because it’s finely ground and naturally flavored, small amounts go a long way to elevate simple dishes.

• Season steamed or roasted vegetables for savory depth
• Mix into mayonnaise or dressings for umami-forward sauces
• Use as a crust or finishing seasoning for fish, tofu, and meats
• Stir into soups or congee near the end of cooking

How should I store and portion this 2.8oz (80g) jar?

Keep the container sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve aroma and texture. The 80 g size is convenient for households and lasts several weeks when used as a daily rice topper; transfer to an airtight jar after opening if desired.

• Store in a cool, dark cupboard away from humidity
• Reseal tightly after each use to maintain crunch and fragrance
• Consider refrigeration in very hot climates to extend freshness

Who is this for? SUI of Tokyo Katsuo Shigure suits home cooks who want authentic Japanese umami without additives—families packing bento boxes, cooks exploring Japanese pantry items, and anyone seeking a quick way to upgrade plain rice, grilled proteins, or vegetable sides. It’s especially helpful for those who prefer small-bite textures and layered savory flavors, and for parents seeking a simple, natural seasoning appropriate for children. Made in Japan with traditional methods and responsibly selected ingredients, this 2.8oz (80g) furikake offers an accessible, everyday path to richer meals.
