Menbei Aromatic Shichimi Mayo Sauce Style" and "Menbei Okazu Miso Domestic Kujo Negi Style" are now on sale at Kuze Fuku Shoten. A review of the collaboration products with "Menbei," the signature product of Yamaguchi Oilman Fukutaro, a long-established confectioner in Fukuoka Prefecture, in person!

Menbei

Menbei" is a rice cracker with squid, cod roe, and other ingredients kneaded into a potato starch-based dough. For this collaboration, it took a year of development to express the flavor of Kusefuku Shoten's popular product in menbei. Two original flavors are being developed.

Menbei Aroma Nanami Mayo Sauce Style

Reproduction of the flavor of Kusefuku Shoten's popular "Aroma Nanami Mayo Sauce". It contains squid, mayonnaise flavor seasoning, shichimi chili pepper, mentaiko (cod roe), salt, yuzu peel, sansho (Japanese pepper) powder, and chili pepper. Contents: 5 bags of 2 pieces each, priced at 626 yen (tax included).


Although the dough is thin, it has a crunchy texture. It is so chewy that you can hear the sound. The taste is spicier than expected. You can feel the spiciness on your tongue along with the flavor of squid and cod roe, and the richness of mayonnaise. The aftertaste is somewhat refreshing, not only because of the spiciness of the chili peppers, but also because of the yuzu and sansho (Japanese pepper) flavors. It is a deep taste with the flavors of various ingredients condensed in one bite.

Menbei Okazu Miso Kokusan Kujo Negi Style

This product is inspired by Kusefuku Shoten's popular "Okazu Miso Kokusan Kujo Negi". Squid, miso, kujo leeks, sauce, cod roe, chili peppers, etc. are used. Contents 2 x 5 bags, price 626 yen (tax included).


The dough, mixed with green onion greens, has a crunchy texture. The rich and delicious flavor of Shinshu miso spreads through the dough, and the aroma of kujo-negi (green onion) escapes into the nose. The sweet and sour taste makes you miss white rice. The spiciness that comes in slightly afterwards is addictive.


Both are perfect not only as a salty snack, but also as a snack with beer. They can also be crushed into small pieces and used as a topping for salads, or added as an accent to dishes.
