Kawaii Ambassadors' Fukuoka Travel Diary

Can't get enough of the delicious and slightly spicy Karashi Mentaiko!

Karashi Mentaiko (spicy pollock roe) is one of the specialties of Fukuoka which is always a good choice when it comes to buying souvenir. Made with the ovaries of Alaska pollock, they are seasoned with chili pepper sauce thus giving a light spiciness and deep umami. This time, ZUZU (2020 Taiwan asianbeat・FACo Kawaii Ambassador) visited the Hakata Tenpura Yamami Uni-President Department Store (Taipei), which is affiliated with a long-established Mentaiko manufacturer, Yamaya. Look how ZUZU enjoyed the Karashi Mentaiko!

ZUZU ZUZU: For me, mentaiko is not a casual food, so I was really happy to be able to enjoy the unlimited free refill for the dish! It is perfect to go with rice as it has a slight spiciness! Wish I could visit Fukuoka one day and try many kinds of mentaiko dishes!

You can also buy mentaiko or "Mentai Tube" from here♪
