Red Shiso Furikake “TANAKA”

Description

Sprinkled over white rice, furikake brings that unmistakable umami flavor that makes all the difference. This mix usually contains dried seaweed, bonito flakes, sesame, glutamate and other ingredients. Tanaka Foods specializes in this type of seasoning and offers a version without seaweed and fish.

Red shiso develops a flavor reminiscent of cinnamon and hibiscus. Shiso is also known as perilla or wild sesame. In this furikake mix, it is accompanied by plum vinegar, salt and sugar to add a touch of umami, freshness and originality to your dishes with its purple color. Its concentration of vitamin A helps the body maintain a healthy immune system, as well as good skin and vision. Red Shiso is a culinary and health asset.

Tanaka Foods has been in business since 1920 and has always valued real ingredients and food safety. In fact, the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare awarded them a prize in this area in 2012.

Usage:

Although furikake was originally developed to season rice, furikake with red shiso is recommended for all kinds of hot dishes, such as pasta or fried potatoes.
