Copied from the package as of the date checked. The label is shown in Japanese as printed; tap an ingredient to see its English name and role. The links in the table below lead to our Ingredients A–Z and food additive database. The package says “本工場ではさばを含む製品を生産しています” (this factory also makes products containing mackerel), “魚を主原料としているため、まれに骨や皮が混入することがあります” (because fish is the main ingredient, bones or skin may rarely be mixed in), and “開封後は袋の口を閉じて冷蔵庫に保存し、お早めにお召し上がりください” (after opening, close the bag, keep it in the refrigerator and eat it soon). The product name at the top of the label is “無添加ごま・焼きのり入り鰹ふりかけ” (additive-free bonito furikake with sesame and toasted nori), and the official shop’s product name is “無添加かつおふりかけ(ごま・焼きのり入り) 25g”. The official shop says it will renew the packaging in stages to match the Consumer Affairs Agency’s guidelines on labeling that food additives are not used.

|---|---|---|---|
| かつお削り節（国内製造）bonito shavings (katsuobushi) | Ingredient | Main ingredient; umami | Katsuobushi shaved thin. Ingredients are listed from the largest amount to the smallest, so this is the biggest part. “国内製造” (made in Japan) means the shavings were made in Japan; it is not where the bonito was caught. The official shop explains it as “花かつお” (hana-katsuo, finely shaved bonito) seasoned only with soy sauce, mirin, granulated sugar and salt. |

What the maker says it does not use
The “無添加” (additive-free) statement on the front of the package (monosodium glutamate, yeast extract, coloring, preservatives). The official shop’s product description says “調味料（アミノ酸）、酵母エキス、着色料、保存料無添加” (no seasoning (amino acids), yeast extract, coloring or preservatives)
Not found in the ingredient list
This is not the maker's “not used” claim. These are things often seen in similar products that we checked are not written in this product's ingredient list. Additives carried over from ingredients may not be declared, so this does not mean they are absent (about additives not written on labels).

Ingredient list on the back of the package, from Marumiya’s official page (checked 2026-09-30; information as of February 2026). Additives are shown in red. It is an egg-flavored furikake, so it is a different kind, but umami is added with seasoning (amino acids) and extracts such as yeast, and color with carotenoid color. Kanei’s furikake has 7 ingredients and no additives.
