Wow! That is really impressive and the fish actually resembles a bird in flight. Amazing.

I did not know that tobiko was flying fish roe but I have to admit that I don't care for it. I don't like popping sensation and there is nothing worse that having one little roe resurface an hour after you thought that you were finished your lunch!

That being said I hope that you enjoyed your sushi.

Don't worry - Tobiko actually isn't considered to be that elevated of a delicacy, and on the contrary is something of a working man's food. Every time I order it in the sushi-ya, my fellow dinner-goers always give me a strange look!

Sounds like you have a busy weekend with the Tokyo Minato Matsuri and the Asakusa Yayoi Matsuri! Now if we can only get the rainy season to hold off a bit longer...
