Mentaiko is a typical Japanese delicacy made from salted and marinated pollock roe. It is seasoned with chili pepper, creating a perfect balance of spiciness, saltiness, and umami, with a creamy yet slightly grainy texture.
In Japan, mentaiko is often enjoyed as a topping on warm rice, mixed into onigiri fillings, or blended into dishes such as mentaiko pasta. This loose-style mentaiko (barako) is especially versatile and easy to use, allowing you to add a rich, savory kick to a wide variety of meals—almost like a flavorful seasoning.
