Wow.
What do you say?
Well, to me that sounds delicious.
No?
Okay.
All right, I guess.
Yeah.
I guess it goes well.
Well, you're not that excited.
The thing is, I don't have that much experience with mentaikos.
Last time I, you know,
the only time I remember having a mentaiko was when I went to Fukuoka the other day.
That was like the only time that I remember eating a mentaiko other than that I've never
had a mentaiko in my life.
It's a favorite thing?
I don't, I'm not, I don't get too excited when I see mentaikos.
Really?
Like, I don't mind going for it.
Like, I would, I think it goes well with rice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think it's a good food.
But like, if they're, if they have, you know, for example, like, you know,
motsunabe right next to it.
I would probably go for a motsunabe with a mentaiko.
Okay.
Yeah.
I don't know why, but in Japanese culture, like mentaiko is something
expensive.
Something like important is what we have toward mentaiko.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
There's like a meaning behind a mentaiko.
It's not like janky foods, like not like umeboshi or like, you know.
Really?
Yeah.
If you, if you saying like, you know, there's a rice bowl.
Okay.
And okazu, one okazu.
Okay.
Like umeboshi, kimchi, nukazuke, asazuke, tsukudani.
But mentaiko is one step higher than those.
It's like a one, maybe only me, but at least in my family, mentaiko is like a one step higher than.
03:07
You have to give them like a suite room, like a, like a.
Like a chair like this.
Like a VIP room.
Yeah.
Wow.
Like a special food.
Oh, is it just because it's expensive?
Or is it like sacred?
Like, is it spiritual?
No, no, no.
Maybe it's just expensive.
It's just expensive for like, yeah.
But anyways.
Koukyuu.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So when I hear like mentaiko, that instantly, oh.
Oh, like automatically, like your eyes are.
It's just so kind of, oh, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
I, on this show.
Yeah.
Have decided that I will try it.
Oh.
Sour cream and mentaiko.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll try it.
I'll give it a shot, and I'll tell you how it was.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And mentaiko hitohara.
That means just one, one.
One.
One.
One poop.
I am so sorry, guys.
I have to say it.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
That was very, very immature of me to say that.
I'm sorry.
But it just, I just, I don't know.
I just have to say it.
It's the easiest way of describing it.
Sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Elementary.
Elementary level.
Dumbass.
Elementary level dumbass.
That is exactly it.
What?
Hitohara.
Hara.
Yeah.
That's what we say, how we say.
Hara as in like stomach hara?
Is that the kanji?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Got it.
Yeah.
All right.
Plus like crackers.
Yeah.
Baguettes.
Baguettes.
All right.
Breads or anything.
Baguette.
Got it.
Yeah.
Me too.
I'm gonna try that.
Yeah.
But like for you, isn't that more difficult?
Because like, you know.
Like, oh, the mentaiko is going to be contaminated with sour cream.
06:00
Like it should be eaten alone, right?
Don't you, isn't that kind of guilt you have?
You are right.
All right.
Yes.
I might be very disappointed.
Nah.
I have wasted one mentaiko.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Could be.
Yeah.
You should try half, right?
Like for, you know.
Just this amount.
Half.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That'll, that'll ease the guilt.
Yeah.
True.
Okay.
All right.
Is this, can you buy mentaikos at like My Basket?
My Basket?
I'm not sure My Basket.
But definitely like, you know, Life or Samito or like those big grocery stores.
You don't think they have it?
Yes.
Is it frozen or is it like chilled?
Chilled.
Chilled.
Yeah.
All right.
Is there both?
What do you mean both?
Do they also sell frozen mentaikos?
Yeah.
I think they have frozen mentaikos.
Do you think I should get the frozen one or should I get the chilled one?
I think the frozen ones are more cheap.
Okay.
Lower quality.
All right.
Because it's frozen.
Like the chilled one is like more fresh.
Yeah.
But you know.
I guess I can just go for the frozen one.
Yeah.
Because it's like, I don't have that much respect, right?
Mixed with sour cream.
True.
You're going to contaminate with some sour shit, right?
So yeah, I guess I'll go for the frozen one.
How do you, do you microwave it?
No, just keep it, like put it in.
Oh, the freezer for day?
Yeah.
Freezer for day or like.
Or John.
Yeah.
Or like you pour water.
Water.
Okay.
Got it.
Got it.

Got it.
Got it.
Got it.
If you put it in microwave, it turns into like usual tarako.
Like taranoko.
It's like boiled.
Oh, shoot.
Oh, does it do that?
Oh, that's interesting.
It's fun.
You know, there are taranoko onigiri, tarako onigiri.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, shit.
That's fun.
