Karasumi
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".
Karasumi is a food item made by salting mullet roe pouch and drying it in sunlight. A theory suggests that it got its name from its resemblance to the blocks of sumi (inkstick) imported from China (Kara) for use in Japanese calligraphy.[1] Karasumi is a high priced delicacy and it is eaten while drinking sake. It is a softer analog of Mediterranean Bottarga.
It is a speciality of Nagasaki and along with salt-pickled sea urchin roe and Konowata one of the "three chinmi of Japan".
The town of Donggang in Taiwan specializes in the delicacy, called wuyutsu (Script error: No such module "Lang-zh".). Mullet fishing in Taiwan can be traced back to when the island was under Dutch colonial rule.[2]
