Herring Roe/Kazunoko
The ovaries of herring have a yellow colour and a rough texture as they contain many thousands of eggs. The taste is different to many other fish ovaries, it is firm and slightly crunchy. It has a very different texture to most other items on a sushi menu and so can provide an interesting contrast. The taste is, to be honest, slightly flavourless, it is a little nutty and not very strong.
In Japan herring roe is a symbol of fertility (as it contains many eggs) and is eaten eaten on new year's day for good luck.
