Taste & how to enjoy it
A spicy-salty furikake built on walleye pollock roe (madarako, similar to mentaiko), seasoned with chili pepper for a mild, tingling heat. The flavor is fish-forward and briny with a peppery kick rather than sweet. Versatile enough for rice balls, fried rice, pasta, salads, or as a mayonnaise-based dip.
