Another Christmas tradition in my family is bagels and fixings for brunch. This one started many years ago when my aunt and uncle brought down an enormous spread from their friend’s deli in San Francisco. It was such a hit that it instantly became a tradition.

Ever since then, we have enjoyed bagels, lox, various cold cuts, mac and potato salad, and all the fixings you could want. It is one of those meals we look forward to every year!

I’ve noticed furikake has gained in popularity recently. So when Mariko added it to her bagels, I was very interested! And wow, it tastes so good. I like it much better than everything bagels.
