My parents sent me two slabs of karasumi or salted mullet roe, a luxury delicacy often eaten at the lunar new year in Taiwan and other celebrations.For this treat, I bought a bottle of good quality sake, a first in my life as a teetotaller, and daikon. The box in which the karasumi was packaged included cooking instructions complete with Mum's annotations (she is, after all, a master of cooking karasumi).
