Hakata Queue: Fukuya's Mentaiko-Inspired Sweets – Fukuoka's New Icon

Mentaiko inventor Fukuya's new savory-sweet creations — Hakata's hottest new food

Fukuya, the Hakata institution that created mentaiko (spicy cod roe) as we know it today, has expanded into creative mentaiko-inspired sweets that have become a new Hakata sensation. Cream buns and filled breads using mentaiko's savory umami appeal to both locals and tourists. The main shop in the Nakasu–Hakata area serves as a gateway to understanding Hakata's rich food culture, offering a unique experience of tasting history while exploring. Always a busy queue-maker on weekends. Located at 2-6-10 Nakasu, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City.
