Tsukiji Gindako Unveils Premium Yuzu Negi Mentaiko

On July 18th, Tsukiji Gindako, under the management of Hotland Holdings, is excited to announce the launch of a limited-time offering: the Premium Yuzu Negi Mentaiko. This seasonal dish will be available at most Tsukiji Gindako locations across Japan, combining traditional flavors with innovative ingredients from renowned mentaiko producer Yamaya.

The Premium Yuzu Negi Mentaiko Experience

This newest addition to the Premium Mentaiko Series is the result of a collaboration with Yamaya, famous for their exquisite mentaiko. The mentaiko used in this dish is aged to perfection for 168 hours (seven days) in Yamaya's secret sauce, the 'Takumi no tare.' This meticulous process intensifies the flavor of each individual grain of mentaiko, resulting in a robust and savory delight that pairs perfectly with Tsukiji Gindako's takoyaki.

The Yuzu Negi Mentaiko features a special sauce blended to create the perfect harmony with takoyaki. It is enhanced with crispy Kujo green onions, adding texture and aroma, while the dish is finished with a sprinkling of white sesame and cut nori for extra flavor. Moreover, a separate pouch of 'special yuzu sauce' is included for a refreshing finish right before serving.

When drizzled onto the hot takoyaki, the 'special yuzu sauce' releases the crisp citrus notes of the 'Kito yuzu' from Tokushima, elevating the overall experience with its elegant fragrance and zest.

What's Behind This Exceptional Dish?

1. Quality Ingredients: The heart of the Yuzu Negi Mentaiko is the preserved mentaiko that undergoes a luxurious aging process, encapsulated in a unique golden ratio sauce, enabling the mentaiko's exquisite flavors to shine through.
2. Precise Preparation: The Kujo green onions are cut with precision into 2mm strips at a 45-degree angle, ensuring that they maintain a tender bite while providing a delightful crunch and rich flavor, enhancing every bite.
3. Separate Serving of Yuzu Sauce: The yuzu sauce is provided separately to preserve its fresh taste until the moment of serving, adding a burst of refreshing citrus that perfectly complements the savory flavors of the takoyaki.

As you indulge in this delightful dish, you'll find the rich umami of the mentaiko enveloping your palate, truly embodying the idea of a premium culinary experience. Don’t miss the chance to savor this seasonal offering!
