Cooking tips 💡

  • The curly brain-shaped part commonly called 'goni' is actually the fish's testis, properly called 'iri' (milt).
  • Enjoy well-cooked roe and milt by dipping them in store-bought vinegar sauce with a little wasabi for a flavor comparable to specialty restaurants.
  • The broth is refreshing and spicy like seafood stew, making it perfect as a hangover soup alternative or late-night snack after drinking.
