Mentaiko

Mentaiko (Kanji: 明太子) is the marinated roe of the pollock, and is one of the common ingredients used in Japanese cuisine. Mentaiko originated in Korea and was brought to Japan after Japanese colonies in Korea were repatriated after the Second World War. The name is derived from the Korean word for Alaska pollock (mentai/myong tae) and the Japanese word for "child" (ko). The typical seasoning and flavour is slightly different in Japan.
