Oh wow! Seriously, your recipes are awesome! We love furikake and tsukudani in this family, however, it’s the MSG that I don’t like, found in the packaged product. The choices without MSG are limited. Thank you so much for posting this! I will definitely make this when my son visits from college during Thanksgiving. I cannot wait to see what you make in your next video! Have a great Halloween 🎃!!

Thanks Mindy's Mom! We love furikake too. And fresh furikake is always a treat! I hope you have a wonderful Halloween as well! 👻

Do some research, MSG affects a very small percentage of people. It's as safe as salt to most.

I will definitely try this recipe, I recently harvested some carrots and kept the greens but needed some recipes for them

Is it just me, or do all Japanese-based videos seem to confirm that Japanese people really love their jazz music!

[@CookingJapanese]

Hello interestingyoutubechannel! There's no doubt that jazz music is popular in Japan. But I also find that it's a good style of music to cook to. Sometimes relaxing, sometimes exciting. Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@interestingyoutubechannel1]

Cooking Japanese Thanks for answering :) I love jazz too.

[@CookingJapanese]

I appreciate you noticing. We spend a lot of time trying to find the right music for our videos. It's nice when someone notices and appreciates it. Thanks again! 🎵🍜😋

[@CookingJapanese]

[@CookingJapanese]

Most of our music come from a music library called Epidemic Sound.Thanks for watching!

[@wiiza4ever]

It’s the Star Trek theme music.

Oh wow, very elegant. :) What's a good vegan alternative to the bonito? Love

[@CookingJapanese]

Thank you... yes I think you would love this. Thanks for watching🙏🏼

[@naansophi1111]

The vegan alternative to 'Furikake' is to leave the bonito out all together, but if you want to make the exact recepie shown in this video vegan, then I suggest that you shred (pulse) 1 cup of cooked Chickpeas, or Beans, or the white part of a Zucchini or an Aubergine, or even Mushrooms or 'Hearts of palms' etc. in a food processor alongside with a nouri-sheet (or kelp powder),. Add a tsp of soysauce and a tbsp of oil (bonito is a fish with dark oily flesh living in salty waters, and it is in the Tuna/Mackrell/Sardin 'family'). Pulse everything in the foodprocessor, and let it all "marinade" for a while, before you use it as a bonito replacement. - Good luck from The Norvégan Chef ;-)

@@naansophi1111 Oh wow, thanks a lot to the Master Norvegan Chef :) Love

[@naansophi1111]

@@dukenegju You're welcome! I hope that you'll be happy with the result :-)

[@stephen129]

What would you recommend if I can't get hold of carrot tops?

[@CookingJapanese]

Good question. I suppose you could try it with other leafy foods like radish. But it would have a totally different texture and taste. You can try dry sherry or chicken broth. Thanks for watching!
