What it is
A unique appetizer consisting of blocks of herring roe naturally attached to kombu seaweed. It's served thinly sliced, offering a delightful crunchy texture and a distinct briny, umami flavor. Often served with a touch of wasabi and soy sauce.
Key ingredients
Komochi Konbu (herring roe attached to kelp), wasabi, sugar-free soy sauce (optional).
Optional tweaks
Request sugar-free soy sauce if available, otherwise use sparingly as regular soy sauce contains small amounts of carbs and sugar.
Say this to the waiter (Japanese)
子持ち昆布刺身は、もしあれば糖質オフの醤油をお願いします。
Komochi Konbu Sashimi: sugar-free soy sauce please, if available. Otherwise, I will use regular soy sauce sparingly.
Watch out for
Regular soy sauce contains sugar and wheat. Some commercially prepared komochi konbu might have been marinated in a sugary solution, though typically it's just brined.
