Rub some vegetable or canola oil onto your shucked corn and grill (either an outside grill or oven works) for 15 minutes or until kernels are soft.
Take firmed up miso butter and rub it over your cooked corn.
Lightly cover with Kewpie mayonnaise and sprinkled furikake. Slice corn on the cob into thirds if you like and serve.
