Pollak roe, called mentaiko(明太子) in Japanese and myeongnanjeot(명란젓) in Korean, is salted roe of pollock. It is originated from Korea, and was introduced to Japan after World War II.
Etymology
Myeongnanjeot(명란젓) is a compound of myeong(명) + ran(란) + jeot(젓). The first letter myeong came from myeongtae(명태), the name for fresh pollocks in Korean. Ran, also pronounced nan, means "egg". Jeot refers to salted fermented food.
Mentaiko(明太子) is also a compound. Although pollocks are called suketōdara(介党鱈) in Japanese, mentai(明太) here, borrowed from its Korean cognate myeongtae(명태), means pollock. Ko(子) means "son".
History
Korea
Koreans have been enjoying pollock roe since the Joseon era(1392-1910). One of the earliest mentions are from Seungjeongwon ilgi, the Journal of the Royal Secretariat, where a 1652 entry stated "The management administration should be strictly interrogated for bringing in pollock roe instead of cod roe."[1]
Japan
Toshio Kawahara (川原 俊夫, Kawahara Toshio), who was born in the city of Busan, Korea during the Japanese occupation, adapted mentaiko to Japanese tastes in Fukuoka in 1949. The typical seasoning and flavor is different in Japan.
Culinary use
Japan
Mentaiko is made in a variety of flavors and colors and is available at airports and main train stations. It is usually eaten with onigiri, but is also enjoyed by itself with sake. A common variety is spicy mentaiko (辛子明太子, karashi mentaiko). It is a product of the Hakata ward of Fukuoka City.
Recently in Japan, mentaiko pasta has become very common and popular. Mentaiko is mixed with butter or mayonnaise and used as a sauce for spaghetti. Thin strips of Nori are often sprinkled on top.
Mentaiko was nominated as Japan's number one side dish in the Japanese weekly magazine, Shūkan Bunshun.[2]
