Description
Orange Masago - Flying Fish Roe - 500 g
Orange Masago is a type of fish roe originating from capelin – a smaller fish species found in cold northern waters. The roe is naturally pale yellow but is dyed orange to enhance its visual appeal in dishes such as sushi and poke bowls. The product contains 95% flying fish roe and is enhanced with sugar, salt, rice wine, and soy-based ingredients, contributing to a balanced flavor profile. Orange Masago is primarily used as a topping and garnish in Japanese and Asian cuisine, where it adds both color and texture to the dish. It is particularly well-suited as an outer layer on sushi rolls, where the small pearls provide a visually appealing and crisp element. The product can also be used as a sprinkle on salads, cold appetizers, Asian soups, and poke bowls, elevating both presentation and taste. The flavor is mild and delicate with a slight sweetness and a subtle saltiness that complements fish, seaweed, and rice. The crunchy texture creates a pleasant contrast to soft ingredients, making each bite more interesting. The product is frozen and should be stored at -18°C to maintain quality and shelf life. After thawing, slow defrosting in the refrigerator is recommended to best preserve texture and flavor. Thawed product can last up to 5 days at +5°C. The packaging is a plastic tray with a net weight of 500 g, making it suitable for professional use in restaurants and for home cooks working with Asian cuisine. The product is certified by MSC-approved sustainable fisheries. Orange Masago is a popular choice for sushi lovers, food enthusiasts, and anyone looking to add authentic Asian elements to their dishes.
