Sourced from Japan, Masago is the roe of the capelin, a small cold water fish of the smelt family, and one of the most widely used garnishing ingredients in Japanese and sushi cuisine worldwide. Often compared to its larger cousin Tobiko, Masago distinguishes itself through its exceptionally fine grain, softer texture, and more subdued, gently briny flavour that integrates seamlessly into a wide range of preparations.

Its vibrant orange colour is immediately eye catching, adding a vivid natural warmth to sushi rolls, nigiri, and Japanese inspired dishes. The flavour is mild and subtly sweet, with a clean oceanic freshness that makes it one of the most accessible and versatile roe products available. Its finer, softer texture gives it a more delicate mouthfeel, well suited to preparations where a lighter roe presence is desired.

Used to coat the outside of sushi rolls, spooned over nigiri, incorporated into sauces and dressings, or applied as a refined garnish, Masago delivers consistent quality and visual impact in every application.
