Tips for cooking

If you are not used to spicy food, you can use salted pollack roe (tarako) instead. We used shiro-dashi type that is 10 times concentrated. The flavor and intensity of shiro-dashi differ depending on the type, so please use the amount on the package as a guide and adjust to your preference.
