Wasen (Umentai)
Plum and Mentaiko—two iconic specialties of Hakata have met on a single rice cracker. This is the Japanese rice cracker "Umentai." It features a surprising combination: a crispy baked dough layered with the refreshing acidity of plum and the spicy kick of spicy cod roe (karashi mentaiko). Karashi mentaiko was born in post-war Hakata and is now known nationwide as a flavor representing Fukuoka. The joy lies in being able to enjoy that flavor easily via a rice cracker. It is a taste that shouldn't exist but does, where sweetness, acidity, and spiciness coexist in one piece. It provides a moment of relaxation when paired with tea, and you won't be able to stop eating it when served as a snack. It is a fun little souvenir that captures the essence of Hakata in a single bite.
