About Masago nigiri

Masago Nigiri is a traditional Japanese sushi item featuring vinegared rice topped with masago, or capelin roe. Masago, prized for its bright orange color and mild, salty flavor, adds texture through its small crunchy spheres. This nigiri is often garnished with a touch of soy sauce or wasabi to enhance its taste, making it a favorite among sushi enthusiasts. As a seafood roe, masago is rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients like vitamin B12 and selenium, which support brain and heart health. However, it’s also relatively high in sodium and cholesterol, making moderation key for those with dietary concerns. With its combination of fresh ingredients, small portion size, and nutrient density, Masago Nigiri offers a flavorful bite that balances indulgence and health-conscious eating within traditional Japanese cuisine.
