Memo

■ 明太子 (Mentaiko)

When we talk about the specialty foods in Fukuoka, it's mentaiko! Alaskan pollack eggs are pickled in seasoning, resulting in exquisite spiciness and savouriness. The lumpy texture is also distinct. Each store has its own recipe for condiments and fermentation methods, so that the taste of mentaiko varies in each store. This is one of Fukuoka's delicacies that gets a lot of attention from outside Japan!!
