🍜 Mentaiko Cuisine Hakata Shobouan

You can taste the well-known specialty of Hakata—Shobuan's "Flying Fish Stock Mentaiko" at this restaurant. In addition to various dishes made with mentaiko, there are also traditional Hakata home-cooked meals and creative Japanese cuisine made with seasonal vegetables. Shobuan's mentaiko uses only selected cod roe from Hokkaido, marinated with domestically produced grilled flying fish stock and chili sauce, resulting in a delicately textured and richly flavored delicacy. A popular dish that combines the signature mentaiko with the Hakata specialty of sea bream chazuke is the "Three Ways to Enjoy Mentaiko and Sea Bream," a unique creation by Shobuan. You can enjoy the signature mentaiko in three different ways, paired with the firm and perfectly fatty sea bream. Additionally, there are limited-time offerings such as the "Grilled Silver Cod with Mirin Set Meal," and the regularly available "Freshly Grilled Tamagoyaki Set Meal," among other exclusive dishes. After your meal, you can also purchase souvenirs in the store, making it a perfect final stop for your day's journey.
