Last update :

Produced and sold by "Fukutaro," known for its signature Hakata Mentaiko, the "Mentaiko-flavored Senbei 'Menbei'" incorporates their specialty cod roe to create a mildly spicy cracker that's hard to put down. Over 20 years since its inception, it has become a staple souvenir from Fukuoka, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Mentaiko as one of Fukutaro's most popular products.

The inception of this product stems from the desire to introduce Mentaiko, a perishable delicacy, to a wider audience in a different form. The prized Mentaiko, produced through a meticulous process, is incorporated into the senbei using unique techniques, further enhanced with seafood flavors like squid and octopus. With its crisp texture typical of senbei and the rich taste of seafood, it has won the hearts of fans across generations.

Now, apart from the original flavor, there are variants like Hakata-exclusive green onion, mayonnaise, spicy, onion, and aromatic shrimp. Collaborations with other specialties from regions in Kyushu, such as "Collab-Menbei," are also on offer. Dive in and savor the variety.
