🎌 [Closed] Gokufuku "Mentaiko Sauce"

When it comes to classic souvenirs that must be bought in Hakata, it has to be 辛子明太子 (Karashi Mentaiko). Among the many brands available, the one that truly lives up to its name and offers a variety of flavors is "五口福" (Gokofuku). The name "五口福" is a play on words, combining "吳服" (Wafuku, meaning traditional Japanese clothing) to symbolize the spirit of Japan with "五福" (Gofuku), which brings good fortune. It also refers to the five delicious ingredients used: cod roe, dashi (broth), mirin, sake, and chili pepper. This unwavering commitment to detail is reflected in their products. To create the most delicious 辛子明太子, Gokofuku sources domestic grilled flying fish, Kagoshima bonito flakes, and Kyushu shiitake mushrooms from all over Japan, crafting an exclusive sauce that marinates the mentaiko to perfection, resulting in a rich flavor. Among their many products, the most unique is the small-packaged mentaiko sauce "五口福綜合口味" (Gokofuku Assorted Flavors). With ten innovative flavors including original, scallop, and basil olive, it can be considered an evolved version of Hakata souvenirs, and it is exclusively sold at 三越岩田屋百貨公司 (Mitsukoshi Iwataya Department Store).

Selected cod roe and exclusive special sauce provide a delightful taste that brings great satisfaction. The small box contains a portion that can be finished in one sitting, making it convenient for tasting and comparing various flavors. There are ten flavors: Ichimi, scallop, basil olive, plum, cheese, shichimi, yuzu, shichimi squid, butter, and seaweed. The stylish modern Japanese packaging makes it one of the best gift choices.
