Memo: Fish roe commonly eaten in Japan
Japan is surrounded by the sea.
Therefore, seafood has been eaten since ancient times.
I would like to introduce some fish roe commonly eaten in Japan.
Tarako
It is cod roe.
It was also featured in this cup ramen.
Tarako is the eggs of a codfish.
In Japan, Alaska pollock eggs are mainly used.
Salted roe are called tarako.
If they are soaked in seasonings such as chili peppers to give them a spicy taste, they are called mentaiko.
Ikura
Ikura is salmon roe.
Salmon is caught as it comes up the rivers from the sea.
I think most salmon roe is pickled in soy sauce.
It seems that there is also salted salmon roe, but it is expensive.
Kazunoko
Kazunoko is herring roe.
Herring roe are salted and dried in the sun.
It is often eaten during the New Year in Japan.
It is an essential food for New Year’s dishes, and is eaten with the hopes of “May we be blessed with many children” and “May our family prosper for generations to come.”
Karasumi
Karasumi is mullet roe.
The salted roe are desalted and dried in the sun.
It is a luxury item because it takes a lot of time and effort.
It is one of the three dainty of Japan.
Summary
Some are unique to Japan, while others are eaten abroad.
Either way, it’s a matter of preference, so I think it’s worth giving it a try.
Please give it a try.
