Furikake in the See also section

@Gilgamesh4: Hi! I'd like to know if furikake has anything to do with soboro bread. It seems like something you would put in/on your rice. Is there a reason for having furikake in the See also section of this article? --Azeite (talk) 08:36, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Aziete:Hi Aziete - Furikake covers a wide range of 'toppings' in Japanese cuisine - The most common is the powder sprinkled on rice, as you say, but also streusel-like crusts - savoury or sweet - that have a lot in common with the Korean bread toppings. These are often referred to as 'soboro' in Japan - there seems to be quite a big overlap between furikake toppings and soboro toppings. Here's an example of a meat soboro/furikake:

(I can see that the current english language furikake page doesn't seem to go beyond the 'sprinkles on rice' usage - and has no mention at all of Japanese soboro - it's on my to-do list to address that). Do you think that's enough to justify a 'see also' link?

Best regards Gilgamesh4 (talk) 11:04, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Gilgamesh4: Thanks for the explanation! I've just looked up the noun soboro in the Japanese dictionary, and also googled soboro to see the image search results. Are soboro and furikake synonyms in Japanese? In that case, it would be great indeed if the furikake article mentions it. If soboro and furikake are two similar but different things, it would be nicer if soboro article—rather than furikake article— is listed in the See also section of this article. (In soboro-ppang, soboro isn't something you can sprinkle on the bread. It is rather a layer of sweet crust with a lot of cracks in it. The bread is quite similar to Japanese melonpan and Hong Kong pineapple bun.) --Azeite (talk) 12:25, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
