Mentaiko (Spicy Caviar)

Have you ever eaten Spicy Caviar (Mentaiko) ?

Mentaiko is cod roe slowly marinated in chili pepper and salt.

Its spicy and rich flavor goes well with pasta, potato,

and especially rice, making it a favorite for putting inside Japanese rice balls (Onigiri).

My father gave me high-quality Mentaiko (absolutely expensive...)

Open the box

Take off the lid of a plastic box

There are three Mentaikos in it

Pick up one Mentaiko and put on the plate

Generally, we eat Mentaiko with something like rice,

but I like to eat it only, not with something.

Hum... Mentaiko is my favorite ... !
