Karashi mentaiko (spicy cod roe) from Chikaei in Fukuoka. Made by a ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant), its strength is its well-defined, distinct grains.

What Japanese buyers say

The one reviewer found this tube of tsubu mentaiko (cod roe) handy: it goes on rice or crackers, tastes refined, and can be tossed with pasta. They say it is a little pricey for the amount, but the taste justifies it.
