Tarako initially appeared in Korea during the Joseon era and made its way to Japan during the early Edo period.
mentaiko made its way from Busan to Fukuoka shortly after WWII where it soon became Fukuoka’s regional specialty.

The short version for their similarity is that mentaiko is tarako, but tarako is not necessarily mentaiko. To throw some confusion into the mix, mentaiko is the word for tarako in the Fukuoka dialect – they originally meant the same thing.
Both mentaiko and tarako are salted pollack and cod roe and are purchased either chilled or frozen. They both are used in a variety of simple recipes, are both popular across Japan, and can be readily found in nearly any supermarket.
Mentaiko, on the other hand, is a soft pink to a vibrant red in colour and is marinated in varied chilies and spices to create a variety of flavour profiles. Originally, mentaiko made its way from Busan to Fukuoka shortly after WWII where it soon became Fukuoka’s regional specialty. It is there that you will find the biggest selection and variety to sample from.
