Mentai Park Oarai (めんたいパーク大洗)
4.0
Located in Oarai Town, Higashiibaraki County, Ibaraki Prefecture, this is a theme park focusing on mentaiko (seasoned cod roe) and run by Kanefuku Co.—a well-established mentaiko shop. The interior includes a mentaiko plant that you can observe through glass, and a wholesaler where you can buy mentaiko directly. A great place for kids and adults to spend the day with mentaiko. The food corner has popular eats like “mentaiko onigiri” and “mentaiko ice cream.”

Review of Mentaipaku
TripAdvisor Traveler Ratingたくさんのお土産はもちろん、軽食も食べられる楽しい施設です。
ここに来たのは2度目です。
お目当てのひとつはめんたいソフト。
ほんのり塩分にプチプチ明太子が美味しいデザートです。
明太子ラー油、ソーセージ、辛子明太子をお土産に買って帰りました。
明太子の試食がダイナミックです。
工場見学風の施設ですが、めんたいこの端切れが安く買えてお得ですよ!物販も品数が多く、おすすめはめんたいマヨネーズです。
フードコートで人気の「めんたいおにぎり」は普通のおにぎりの2-3倍のご飯の量なので、これ1個でおなか一杯になります!

Ibaraki Areas

Just a stone's throw from Tokyo, Ibaraki is a coastal prefecture that has mastered juxtapositions, where old shrines meet new scientific discoveries and traditional gardens are frequented by the inventors of some of the newest technology. Head to Mito City's Kairakuen - one of Japan's Three Great Gardens - in spring to experience the cellestial blooming of fantastic cherry blossoms at the annual sakura festival.
