Mentaiko is simply a marinated fish rowe, which is a popular accompaniment in Japanese food. It was my first time to try this particular dish which in my case saw it added to 5 pieces of assorted Nagiri Sushi..The Nigiru Sushi pieces are completed as each of the delicate meats and rowes are place over a hand-pressed piece of vinegarised rice.
My Flavours of Mentaiko Sushi
- Hotate (Scallop)
- Mushi Ebi (Shrimp)
- Engawa (Fluke Fin)
- Sake (salmon)
- Toro Sake (Salmon Belly)
What are the orange bits on top?
Tobiko is flying fish rowe and are the small orange balls used decoratively on top of the larger Mentaiko rowe which usually comes from a type of cod.
What does is taste like?
The Mentaiko added a thick rich almost creamy texture to the top of the Sushi, and I must admit I'm not sure it was to my taste. As I like to lavish my sushi with wasabi and soy, i was beginning to get too many flavours and sauces. Although it was nice to try something new, I think I'll give this particular dish a miss next time.
