The roe is firm with a tender pop. It has a delicate sweetness and a balanced salinity. The mezcal adds a touch of heat and a smokey peppery note to the roe. We have not worked with mezcal cured roe for years. It was wonderful to find out Steve at Blis was making it again. It looks like we may have to revisit our past and begin exploring fresh caviar and ice cream combinations. Although, if Aki has her way fresh noodles and roe are in her future. Special ingredients inspire delicious ideas.
