Shibuya City, Tokyo, Japan｜Tokyo Tarako Spaghetti Shibuya

Food was amazing! Go at odd times to avoid the line (there was already a line outside half an hour before they opened). Don’t know the name of what I ordered but it was the two type of roes. Spaghetti was al dente- 👍👍👍. You can add the dashi if it feels dry. I asked to add salmon and it was quite a reasonable price- big piece of salmon for about 500 yen I think (at my place, it would’ve cost double the price). So good I went to their other branch the next day too

Absolutely loved it! The pasta is chewy and springy while the the ingredients are all fresh and tasty. If you’re a fan of roe and caviar, this is the place for you. Their signature dish, roasted mentaiko with dashi soup is an absolute joy. The rich and smoky mentaiko is balanced by the gentle umami of the dashi broth while the freshness of the shiso and green onions and sesame makes it truly memorable. If you’re more into creamy pasta, they have “creamy” sauces made from grated yam or soymilk. Pictured here is their grated yam and mentaiko cream sauce pasta with shiso pesto, a wonderful medley of the bright, herby shiso and the unctuous, umami filled yam and mentaiko. If you have an open mind on new culinary adventures, Tokyo Tarako Spaghetti is definitely worth a try!

Creative mentaiko spaghetti dishes! Must try if you’re a mentaiko lover.
