Hi! Does anyone know if there is Ajinomoto or MSG in Furikake & in those bonito granules used in miso soup?
 
Instant dashi(bonito granules) is loaded with MSG. As far as I know, most furikake is also packed with MSG. It seems almost everything I buy from the Japanese/Asian grocery is loaded with MSG.

The instant dashi I have here has 140 mg of sodium per 0.8 g serving. The furikake I have has 260 mg of sodium per 3 g serving.
