Marutome, a store located within "Ming," the largest souvenir complex in Kyushu directly connected to JR Hakata Station, will newly commence sales of "Freshly Made Mentaiko" from June 13th (Saturday), 2026. This special product is handled by Fukutaro, a long-standing manufacturer of mentaiko (spicy marinated pollock roe).
This premium mentaiko, which the store has not previously carried, will be sold with limited arrivals every Saturday, delivered as a special Hakata souvenir.
While typical mentaiko is frozen once after marination before distribution, "Freshly Made Mentaiko" is directly shipped from the factory to the retail store in a refrigerated state immediately after marination, without ever being frozen. The key features, made possible by never freezing, are its popping, "crunchy granular texture" and the fresh umami and richness inherent to the roe.
Arrivals "Only on Saturdays"! Premium Sales End When Sold Out
Marutome will receive arrivals of this product only on Saturdays each week. As the quantity available per arrival is limited, there is a possibility it may sell out over the weekend alone, depending on sales. This is truly a limited quantity item where "you're lucky if you can get it." We confidently recommend it not only for the weekend indulgence of local Fukuoka residents visiting Hakata Station but also as the "best Hakata souvenir" for tourists and business travelers visiting Hakata on weekends.
