A Unique Flavor Fusion: Sakeru Mozzarella Hakata Mentai

ABURAYAMA CHEESE STAND, managed by nobilu Co., Ltd., has unveiled a new product that is set to redefine Fukuoka souvenirs. Starting March 7, 2026, the company will release 'Sakeru Mozzarella Hakata Mentai', a delightful combination of cheese and the beloved local delicacy, mentaiko, available exclusively in Fukuoka's direct stores and select retailers.

The Inspiration Behind the Product

Fukuoka’s mentaiko has long been a staple souvenir, often paired with various culinary creations. However, the 'Sakeru Mozzarella' series seeks to elevate this classic by incorporating mentaiko into a cheese format. The idea was to create a fun and enjoyable product that captures the essence of Fukuoka's flavors. This innovative fusion not only ensures a delightful taste experience but is also designed for convenience, perfect for those waiting for a train or airplane.

To enhance the flavor further, yuzu peel from Kanzan Sansho-en adds a refreshing citrusy undertone, making it a truly unique product representative of Fukuoka.

Product Quality and Characteristics

Authentic Mentaiko Texture

The new cheese incorporates the authentic texture and flavor of mentaiko, ensuring that the essence of this beloved delicacy is encapsulated within each bite. The meticulous preparation allows the piquant spiciness of the mentaiko to harmonize perfectly with the creamy mozzarella, resulting in a product that’s both flavorful and memorable. With each chew, the tangy notes of mentaiko are complemented by the crisp scent of yuzu peel.

Fresh and Creamy Mozzarella

Made from 100% fresh milk, the mozzarella cheese used in the 'Sakeru Mozzarella' provides an indulgent creaminess that balances the heat of mentaiko. This combination creates a flavor profile that is hard to resist—once you start, you won’t want to stop.

Attractive and Convenient Packaging

The product’s design features a vibrant red to symbolize mentaiko, ensuring it stands out on supermarket shelves. The packaging is not only eye-catching but also convenient, making it an excellent choice for gifting or personal indulgence.

Limited Pre-sale on Online Shop

In anticipation of the official launch, the product will have a limited pre-sale on the official ABURAYAMA CHEESE STAND online shop starting March 1, 2026. Customers will have a chance to purchase this unique blend ahead of the general release.
