There are various blends of furikake that are used in sushi and sashimi
preparation, some are sugar-based and popular for using on chirashi, others
are bonito based and popular for topping hand rolls, yet others are spicy
and chili based -- the selection is almost endless. Most oriental food
stores will carry a good selection, as they are essential to Japanese
cooking.
