Piri-Kara Shittoro is a flavorful cod roe product developed to make Hokkaido-produced cod roe more affordable and easier to enjoy. Inspired by the desire to create a convenient product from local ingredients, it offers the distinctive taste of Japanese spicy mentaiko, or seasoned pollock roe.
The product is made using fresh cod roe obtained from Alaska pollock caught in the waters around Mori Town, Hokkaido. Through a special preparation process, the roe is seasoned to recreate the savory, mildly spicy flavor associated with mentaiko.
The cod roe is loosened into small pieces before being packed into a jar, so there is no need to cut or prepare it. Simply scoop out the amount you need with a spoon and enjoy it with a bowl of steaming hot rice.
Piri-Kara Shittoro is also a versatile ingredient for a variety of dishes. Toss it with pasta for a savory, spicy sauce, use it as a filling for hand-rolled sushi, or mix it into Japanese-style salads and other dressed dishes.
With its convenient jar packaging and distinctive mentaiko-inspired flavor, Piri-Kara Shittoro is an easy way to add the taste of Hokkaido seafood to everyday meals.
