Spicy Mentaiko
A single piece on freshly cooked rice. After the tiny grains burst in your mouth, a spicy heat and savory umami gently spread. It creates a magical flavor that makes you want to keep eating more rice. It was created by Toshio Kawahara, the founder of Fukuya. Unable to forget the taste of this marinade he had in Busan, he went through much trial and error to adapt it to the Japanese palate, eventually releasing it as 'Aji no Mentaiko' in 1949. It is said that it took nearly ten years to reach a satisfying flavor. Kawahara did not monopolize the production method and shared it with other shops. Because of this, Mentaiko spread across the country as a taste of Hakata. Please enjoy it with hot, steaming rice.
