NATSUKO’S “FURIFURI” PORTRAIT
Natsuko is the co-founder of FURIFURI, the 100% natural furikake brand, launched in 2023 with her amazing partner, Julie. She shares her tips for this seaweed and sesame-based condiment, an ideal alternative to salt for maximum flavor.
> FURIFURI in a word?
A great adventure that brings together two passions: food and Japan!
> FURIKAKÉ is for me…
The condiment I've always loved, a little taste of my childhood.
> My favorite FURIFURI?
THE ORIGINAL. This is where it all began; it's our all-purpose product, the one that most resembles Japanese furikake.
> My FURIFURI recipe that’s so good and takes two seconds?
Right now, because it's the season and I love it: a sliced beefsteak tomato, a drizzle of very good olive oil from Nice, all sprinkled with FURIFURI Lemon which adds a delicious crunch to this little dish... So simple and super good!
> The FURIFURI recipe that my children like?
Quite simply, a bowl of Japanese rice sprinkled with FURIFURI Original. It works every time! I add small vegetables, edamame and/or raw fish sashimi to make mini-chirashi. Enjoy with chopsticks, like a real Japanese person 😊
> The FURIFURI recipe for seduction every time?
A beautiful platter of special Cap-Ferret oysters sprinkled with FURIFURI Original, Lemon, or Chili, depending on your tastes and desires. It's packed with umami, perfect for getting him or her hooked!
