Full of unexpected mentaiko - Oarai Mentaiko Theme Park
Transportation: Take the Kashima Rinkai Railway-Oarai Kashima Line to Oarai Station and then transfer to a bus
The Mentaiko Theme Park is actually a Mentaiko Tourism Factory.
In addition to introducing the relevant knowledge, production process and various dishes of Mentaiko,
there are also various peripherals for sale. The Mentaiko sold are all sold directly from the factory.
It looks very fresh and has a beautiful color.
The production line of the factory is also very clean.
Through the glass, you can see the staff processing the Mentaiko step by step.
Just looking at it, you feel that the Mentaiko made will be delicious.
And there is no fishy smell in the museum, so people who are afraid of fishy smell don’t have to worry.
In addition to various Mentaiko products, various meals made with Mentaiko are also sold on site,
including Mentaiko Onimori Rice Bowl, Mentaiko Meat Bun, Mentaiko Rice Ball, and even Mentaiko Ice Cream.
I thought I should eat as much as I can since it's a rare occasion, so I ordered the Mentaiko Oni Mori Donburi.
What I got was a thick layer of Mentaiko, and I couldn't see the rice underneath.
(The seaweed on top was in the shape of the Mentaiko mascot, so cute)
There is absolutely no such thing as a picture for reference only.
But to be honest, the quantity is quite large... and it's all Mentaiko, and there's a lot of it.
It's delicious, but it's a bit greasy after eating it ^^"
It's recommended to share it with two people. Recommended to students who love Mentaiko very much.
After eating the rice bowl, I felt a little empty, so I ate another Mentaiko soft serve ice cream.
There was a Mentaiko senbei inserted on the soft serve ice cream, which was crispy and delicious.
The soft serve ice cream itself is a light pink color, and you can see small Mentaiko in it.
It tastes a little salty and spicy sweet, and the saltiness and spiciness are only a little bit.
The soft serve ice cream with vanilla milk flavor is unexpectedly refreshing,
which neutralizes the sweetness of the soft serve ice cream.
Even if it's not convenient to buy fresh Mentaiko, you can buy other snacks that are more convenient to carry.
I later bought Mentaiko chocolate (unique taste, not bad but not the taste of chocolate you would expect),
Mentaiko fish sausage (this is delicious, well received by relatives and friends, and it feels super suitable for beer)
Mentaiko rice with furikake (Very delicious, slightly spicy and goes well with rice, and it comes in a small package so you don’t have to worry about it becoming soft before you finish it)
All three of the above are highly recommended!
