Tarako is made from salted and seasoned cod roe (fish eggs). It is a popular and versatile ingredient in Japanese cuisine, known for its unique flavor and texture. There are two main types of tarako—mentaiko and tarako. Mentaiko is the spicy version of tarako, where the cod roe is seasoned with red chili pepper and other spices, giving it a spicy kick. Tarako, on the other hand, is the non-spicy version, often milder in flavor.
