Karasumi is the Japanese equivalent to Bottarga from Italy but has a delicate taste and soft velvety texture.
The named translates Chinese (Kara) ink (Sumi), and was originally brought to Japan from Greece and Egypt through the Silk Road in 1650's
Presenting a rich taste like semi-aged cheese, a developed savory umami, and deliciously long aftertaste. Not only is it delicious, but Karasumi (Bottarga) has DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) which supports anti-aging, good circulation, and recovery. Just thaw in the fridge overnight, slice, peel, and enjoy. Insiders will toast or grill the surface lightly to bring out even more flavor! We recommend making canapes or adding to pasta.
