Menbei" is one of the standard souvenirs of Fukuoka. In the past, we reviewed " Kitakyushu Menbei (with Iwashi Nuka)" as a "local version," and this time we will introduce "Okinawa Menbei Raftae & Shikwasa Flavor".

Okinawa Menbei Raftae & Shikwasa Flavor

The refreshing design of the package is reminiscent of the clear blue ocean of Okinawa. The shisa (Okinawan Okinawan lion) adds to the Okinawan mood. On the back side, there is information on sightseeing spots.



Okinawa Menbei" is a product that combines the rich flavor of mentaiko (cod roe) and other seafood with raftae, a local Okinawan dish made by stewing pork in a sweet and spicy sauce, and the flavor of shikwasa (Okinawan citrus fruit). It is made with Akamaruso's "Shikwasa pepper with Shimatouganashi" and Ryukyu Awamori "Kumesen".


A parade of various tastes including mentaiko (cod roe), pork, squid, octopus, bonito flakes, ginger, and Worcestershire sauce. Each is harmoniously blended to create a deep richness and an exquisite salty taste. Finally, mentaiko (spicy cod roe) is added.

The complexity of the flavors means that you can't always detect the raft of flavors from the raft or the shikwasa, but the gradation of subtle sweetness, umami, saltiness, and spiciness is magnificent. The light and crispy texture of this dish makes it very addictive and delicious.


The price is 864 yen (tax included) for a package of 8 bags of 2 pieces. This time, we purchased them at the main Okinawa antenna store "Washita Shop Ginza" in Tokyo.
