Mentaiko

Mentaiko is a typical Japanese seafood with an exquisite combination of spiciness and flavor, and is known for being used in many dishes. Let's explore the appeal of mentaiko through Takashi Tamura's cooking suggestions.

Mentaiko is made from fermented and salted pollack ovaries, and is seasoned with spicy chili peppers. With its exquisite balance, you can enjoy the addictive taste while whetting your appetite. Mentaiko is mainly enjoyed as an accompaniment to rice or as a topping for noodles, and its bright orange color colors the table.

Mentaiko can be eaten as is, but it can also be used as an accent to dishes. It is also useful as a topping for pasta, omelet rice, and pizza, and can expand the variety of dishes.
