Kashiwara Mentaiko (Spicy Cod Roe)
Born in Osaka, this is a dish that goes perfectly with rice. Mentaiko is produced in Kashiwara City and can be purchased at local direct sales stores and similar locations. While the image of mentaiko is strongly associated with Hakata, it is quite a surprise to find it being manufactured in Kashiwara, Osaka. Its popping texture and spicy flavor make it the perfect companion for rice. Placed atop freshly cooked white rice, it becomes a feast that allows you to eat bowl after bowl. It can be used in various ways, such as flaked and tossed with pasta or used as a filling for rice balls (onigiri), adding a fun color to your dining table. Another joy is that grilling it offers a different, savory aroma. It is a hidden specialty of Kashiwara that makes for a wonderful souvenir.
