Ikura, or salmon roe, always tastes delicious topped off with a raw quail egg yoke. Ikura can be ordered by itself but I highly recommend the quail egg to offset the sharp saltiness of the roe. The creamy egg yoke absorbs the salt and adds a mild layer of flavor, especially when the individual roe pop open during chewing. As they pop open, they release more heavenly, salty and oceanic flavor; nothing tastes quite like it. |
