Like caviar made from salted sturgeon eggs, kazunoko is a delicacy made from salted herring roe and is cherished in Japan as a good-luck food that adorns the New Year’s table.
Eggs are generally considered high in cholesterol, but herring roe, or kazunoko, is a popular choice even for those mindful of their cholesterol intake.
There is a delicacy of herring roe attached to kelp, but it is not prepared through cooking. Instead, it is created by a masterful technique where kelp is suspended in a fish tank, and spawning herring are allowed to swim and lay their eggs on the kelp. Wouldn’t you be intrigued by a delicacy made by the herring themselves?
Kazunoko is fish roe and generally doesn’t pair well with wine, but when marinated in olive oil and herbs, it acquires a Western-style flavor that makes it a delicacy perfect for a stylish party!
A legendary Japanese gourmet potter once described kazunoko as “eating sound.” It offers a rare culinary experience where you can savor the sound while chewing. But be careful—if you get too caught up in listening, you might forget to fully taste it with your tongue and feel like you’ve missed out!
Some foreign visitors to Japan say that fish roe, whether fresh or dried, is just hard and tasteless. But you might be able to appreciate the addictive sensation of the roe popping and bursting in your mouth!

Kazunoko is typically enjoyed with a salty flavor, but a famous local dish features a soy sauce-based seasoning, the crunchy texture of herring roe, and the sticky consistency of kelp, making it a perfect pairing with rice or sake.
Since ancient times, the Japanese have held a tradition of imbuing food with deep meaning and wishes. Herring roe, with its numerous eggs, symbolizes the prosperity of offspring and has become an essential part of New Year’s dishes. This tradition has been preserved for generations, yet Japan’s population decline continues unabated.
