Ganso Hakata Mentaiju Nishinakasu

Visited on a Tuesday morning at around 9:30am. I was the second in line which took about 10 minutes before getting in. This is the craziest breakfast I ever had. I ordered the set with Tsuke-men and mentaiju over rice. Oh my gosh, I wish I had a big capacity stomach. The dipping soup was so rich make each slurp of noodles so sensational. I was full after the noodle but I could not stop eating the mentaiju on rice. Not too salty, very tasty 😋 You must visit or you have not been Fukuoka truly

Famous mentaiko specialist in the Nakasu area. Service is good and there is large indoor waiting area so you don’t have to queue outside in the heat. Went there during lunch time on a weekday and waited for less than 10 minutes Not sure if this qualifies as a ramen shop, but I ordered the mentaiko tsukemen; the noodles are chewy and slippery, and goes well with the mentaikao sauce. The pudding is also quite nice.

We arrived at 6pm and queued up for half an hour. The restaurant is well decorated and has a great ambiance! I ordered the rice box and a pudding, my partner ordered the udon and also two extra raw and roasted mentaiko. Based on personal preference and also compared to our previous experience, both of us find the mentaiko here is quite salty, so pairing with rice is a better way. Pudding is great!

Must eat mentaiko in fukuokaaaaa. Glad I had it here because it’s so so good. Got the set with both the rice and tsukemen to try everything and that’s definitely the way to go! The tsukemen is rich and savoury with bouncy noodles but of course my favorite was the mentaiko rice with seaweed. So umami rich and well balanced throughout.

When you come to this city, I recommend eating the delicious fish eggs. Eat it with rice and seaweed or eat it with dry ramen soup. The gimmick is to pour the soup over it and sip it. It's a ramen soup with ramen eggs. It's really delicious. Another one is the ramen soup with ramen eggs.

Great Mentaiko Experience! Can't miss their Mentaiju, Tsukumen, MentaiSui, and Egg pudding!! We love it so much that we need to order every dish twice!

Mentai Nikomi Tsukemen was exceptional. Mentaiju was regular mentaiju the only difference was the mentaiko had less fishy taste compared to another restaurant that we went to. The chawanmushi was also great. We went there at around 17:30 so there wasn't any queue. We shared 2 sets among 4 people.

No wait to get in during dinner, ordered the set including the mentaiju and Tsukemen. Mentaiju is pretty plain apart from the mentaiko in terms of flavour, there was an odd wrapping around the mentaiko which I wasn't a fan of. Tsukemen is not bad, although noodles are pretty basic and soup isn't as thick as I imagined. A bit pricey for what it is (¥3300+ from memory)
