About Ikura nigiri

Ikura Nigiri is a traditional Japanese sushi dish featuring fresh salmon roe atop a small bed of vinegared sushi rice, often wrapped with a thin strip of nori (seaweed). Known for its vibrant orange color and distinctive briny flavor, ikura (salmon roe) is prized in Japanese cuisine for its delicate texture and rich taste. Nutritionally, ikura is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart and brain health. It is also rich in protein and essential vitamins like B12 and D. However, it can be high in sodium due to its brining process, so moderation is key. Sushi rice adds a carbohydrate base, while nori provides trace minerals and fiber. Ikura Nigiri is best enjoyed as an occasional indulgence, combining nutrition with the artistry and tradition of Japanese sushi-making.
