Description

If you can't find peach wood, you can use other types of wood with a mild aroma, such as apple or pear, but it's important to ensure that the wood is safe for smoking. For a more intense flavor, you can marinate the scallop in soy sauce or a mixture of ponzu sauce and lemon juice beforehand. The amount of ponzu sauce can be adjusted to taste. Serve the dish immediately after cooking to enjoy maximum freshness and flavor.

Scallops - 1.4 oz
Ponzu sauce - 2 fl oz
Flying fish roe - 0.2 oz
Olive Oil - 0 fl oz
Ocean salt - to taste
White Pepper (whole) - to taste
Sour Grass - 0 oz
