Just a quick note that some places sell masago, which is similar to tobiko but inferior and cheaper. Check the label first before you purhcase. Sunrise Mart and Katagiri carry both.

One of the most common is using masago (smelt eggs) for tobiko (flying fish roe). These days, virtually all California rolls get their orange crunch from masago. Of course, that is not actually cheating as most places don’t...

These days, cal rolls are more likely to have masago instead of tobiko. It is cheaper and in something like cal rolls where cost is more important than the flavor of the roe, an adequate substitute Real tobiko can be quite good as...

of masago and the black mini eggs. Ichi roll – yellowtail, salmon and green onion served tempura style. My friend liked this the best. I’m not a huge fan of tempura and I thought this tempura style to be really crunchy...

of the chef’s special rolls—they were fresh, delicious and IMMENSE! The Kawasaki roll was excellent—spicy tuna, yellowtail, tempura crunch, snow crab meat and masago in a soybean paper roll. My guy proclaimed it to be...

? Hamachi, Ikura, Masago, Unagi, Tamago, Yuzu tobiko (not sure if this is one or two things) and tataki. Some of the pieces that I ate had a pale orange sauce drizzled on them, it was a little spicy and so delicious. What is it...

I posted a couple of days ago about trying to find masago, but no one responded...so I’m trying a different tactic. ANyone know of any Asian markets in the valley, other than the 99 Ranch on Sepulveda and Victory?

Different from masago?

The japanese market on the corner of webster and post (the one that used to be Maruwa) still carries fresh sushi grade fish and roe. They had tobiko, ikura and masago last time i was there. As well as green shiso leaves.

I’ve had wonderful asparagus, desserts, great bread and butter. First time I had wasabi flavored masago over swordfish I believe. Veal daube. Sad to see it go, not many spots like this.

I ate there two years ago, and when I read this post my first thought was “deep fried Miyagi oysters.” They were served on a leaf of butter lettuce and dotted with some wasabi flavored masago, and maybe a little...

at the dock as a popsicle anyhow. Of course there is the Masago (fish roe) and Inari, Fried Tofu (simmered in a mirin dashi broth) which is then stuffed with rice.
