Ingredients

  • ½ cup mirin (Japanese sweet wine)

  • 3 tablespoons sake

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon wasabi powder

  • 12 fresh oysters

  • 6 quail eggs

  • ¾ teaspoon tobiko (flying fish roe)

  • 6 lemon wedges

  2. Shuck oysters; place 2 oysters in each shooter glass.

  3. Ladle 2 tablespoons mirin mixture into each glass, without disturbing sediments at the bottom.

  4. Crack 1 quail egg into each glass. Top each with 1/8 teaspoon tobiko and garnish with lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
