Karasumi (dried mullet roe) mochi

warm, salty, and quietly perfect. At my favorite little place, Uo-Hiro.

Japanese-style spaghetti: cream sauce, shrimp, and ricotta cheese, topped with karasumi (salted dried mullet roe). Full honesty, I chose this because it’s been ages since I’ve had karasumi and couldn’t remember whether I liked it. (I live on the edge.) Turns out I feel pretty neutral about it as an ingredient. It added some saltiness but not a lot of depth. Not an intense, in-your-face texture like ikura. Mostly I wished there was more shrimp!

Wined, Dined, Brined, and Intestined: Acquiring a Taste for Japanese Delicacies

A "Delicacy" is usually either really really delicious or really really weird. Sometimes both! But to the outsider, sadly it's usually on the ewwwwww side.

The world has fallen in love with Japanese cuisine. It has even been recognized as intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO. You probably know all about the big stars of Japanese food: sushi, noodles, onigiri. Maybe you've even tried some stranger Japanese dishes, like the opinion dividing natto.

But have you ever heard of chinmi? Chinmi 珍味 literally means "rare taste," but it also contains the meanings of acquired taste and delicacy. To give you some context of what sort of food qualifies as a chinmi, the word is also used to describe some non-Japanese foods such as caviar, truffles, and foie gras, which are described as sekai no sandai chinmi 世界の三大珍味, the world's top three delicacies.

The idea of chinmi pops up in Japanese popular culture across the spectrum from the surreal Toriko to the classic Oishinbo. Seeking out strange gourmet dishes is possible in the real world too. Even for Japanese people, these are a little out of the ordinary. If you really want to level up your Japanese food appreciation, seek chinmi out. Some of them are hard to find. Some of them are hard to stomach. Some of them are hidden gems.
