Wasabi Tobiko


Wasabi Tobiko is tobiko (flying fish roe) and wasabi (the Japanese equivalent of horseradish) over sushi meshi (rice) and wrapped in toasted seaweed paper called nori and served raw as sushi in many Japanese restaurants. If you should ever have the courage to order it, keep in mind that the roe is normally bright orange, and that the amount of wasabi needed to make it so vibrantly green is enough to clear out even the stuffiest of sinuses. This stuff is not for sissies.
I figure it's kind of my theme food: a little weird, or maybe a little normal, but definitely not what you were expecting. I thank you for joining me on this, my latest journey into the unexpected.
Hang on.
