It’s also for rice now! I bought this FRESH PRECURE! (フレッシュ プリキュア) furikake to spice up my plain rice at the grocery store down the street. Furikake is basically just a condiment for your rice. Made from various Japanesey ingredients it can send your rice from bland to fishy / eggy / seaweedy in no time! Video , dancing, and another pic after the Jump.
This news is a bit old, Novemeber of last year actually. But I was still surprised by it. These devices aren’t all that uncommon in Japan even today.
