"Mentai-ju" is a Hakata specialty in which a whole piece of mentaiko wrapped in kelp that has been painstakingly marinated is placed on top of hot rice covered in nori seaweed. The seasoning in which the mentaiko is marinated is made with various umami ingredients such as kelp, which gives it a deep flavor. The special sauce, specially formulated to match Mentaiju, enhances the flavor of the mentaiko, bringing out even more deliciousness.
