Well, it does.  Same texture too.  Loved the flavor..but for me, it's hard to get past the color and then the feel of it in my mouth.  It's a delicacy..it's expensive...and it's also the gonads of the sea urchin.  Who knew?  I stepped on a sea urchin once..it was the day after I got stung by a scorpion.  Good times.
We had one fabulous sushi meetup at Akebono on Freeport Blvd in Sacramento.  My non-raw-fish-eating husband even tried some sashimi!
Anyhoo...I wrote about it over at the food forums if you want to read more.  I think the others will chime in too. It's under dining experiences.  We always have such a great time...lots of laughs and great food.  I will become a regular at Akebono.

Aww...baby poo? I've heard it described as puppy vomit, which seems more apt.
Still, the taste is sublime. A mini-O in every mouthful.
