Mentaiko is a flavorful and slightly spicy cod roe, popular in Japanese cuisine. Traditionally marinated in a mixture of chili, sake, and soy sauce, it offers a rich umami taste. Often enjoyed as a topping on rice or pasta, Mentaiko is not only delicious but also packed with protein and omega-3 fatty acids, promoting heart health. However, it is high in sodium, so moderation is key. With its vibrant color and unique flavor, Mentaiko adds an exciting twist to any dish, making it a beloved delicacy not just in Japan, but around the world.
