So a friend of mine has been raving about a drink he once had in a sushi restaurant, a sake bomb featuring a hard boiled quail egg. Having recently come into an abundance of quail eggs (which is how the subject came up), I'm determined to try my hand at making this drink, but all the recipes I've found use raw eggs.
Are the quail eggs pickled in the sake ahead of time and plucked from the jar when it's time for a drink? I can't find any recipes for quail eggs preserved in sake, so perhaps not.
Is the egg boiled in hot sake at the time of preparing the drink? Perhaps with a pinhole pricked in one end so it can absorb the alcohol? Or dropped in raw and cooked in the fashion of egg-drop soup minus the stirring, so the egg more or less retains its shape? Or simply hard-boiled normally and stored in the fridge to be added like a cherry? Who knows? I've googled every way I know how and come up empty.
Anybody know a recipe for this particular concoction?
