Furikake is a dry Japanese condiment sprinkled over cooked rice or mixed into onigiri, typically combining dried fish or freeze-dried egg, sesame seeds, dried seaweed flakes, sugar and salt, with regional versions adding bonito flakes, salmon, shiso or miso powder. Modern furikake developed in Japan between the 1900s and 1920s, building on older traditions of herb-based rice seasoning, and today ranges from savory and fishy varieties to sweet or spicy ones.
