When I went to the BM restaurant, it was closed. Although the information on Tabelog said there were no regular holidays...maybe because it's right in the middle of Obon... As I was about to go to a different restaurant, I noticed this place in front of me. Come to think of it, it was recently on TV. It has a memorable name, inspired by a nationally popular game. The restaurant is an upgraded version of the affiliated store "Taishu Sakaba Mario," so it's called Super Mario. It was past 12 o'clock, with one family waiting in front of the store, so I lined up behind them. After about 15 minutes, I was seated. Since I was alone, I sat at the counter. I ordered the most popular dish on the menu, the Mentaiko Cream Pasta (1080 yen) which comes with a salad and bread during lunchtime. I added the lunch set option (330 yen), which includes a drink, today's side dish, and a mini dessert. I chose a ginger ale for my drink, which you can have before or after the meal. I chose to have it before. Today's side dish was potato salad, and the main spaghetti was a cream-based dish with a refreshing aftertaste. It also had grilled chicken in it, making it quite filling. The highlight, the mentaiko, was scooped generously with an ice cream scoop, giving a strong mentaiko flavor. The dessert was a cold, smooth dessert. If you love mentaiko, this dish is a must-try.

I went around 13:30 on Sunday and was seated right away without waiting. I ordered the most popular mentaiko cream pasta (large size). It usually comes with shiso leaves, but I don't like shiso so I asked for it to be removed. The lunch set includes salad and a baguette. The pasta was chewy and delicious since it was fresh. It had plenty of mentaiko and chicken, so I was satisfied. It was nice to dip the baguette in the mentaiko cream sauce!

When it comes to Fukuoka, you must try mentaiko! Head to a mentaiko spaghetti specialty store! The menu includes dishes like Mentaiko Cream Spaghetti with Shiso and Mentaiko Carbonara. This place is a paradise for mentaiko lovers! I tried the popular Cream Pasta with a touch of shiso, and it was delicious. I used to not like shiso, but I've come to appreciate its flavor recently. During lunchtime, they also serve salad and bread on the side. It's also tasty to dip the bread in the cream sauce from the pasta. If you love mentaiko, definitely give this place a try!

A small pasta restaurant located less than a 10-minute walk from Canal City. Prices are reasonable, and during lunchtime, pasta comes with salad and bread. The atmosphere is cozy, with counter seats available for solo diners. The staff is friendly, and the pasta is delicious with a nice chewy texture. However, if you don't like spicy food, be aware that the mentaiko pasta is quite spicy.

It's been a while since I visited Super Mario. I think this is my third visit. I heard that people start lining up before the store opens, so I geared myself up and managed to get in on the first round! There were people lining up before opening and even after opening ((*ﾟДﾟ*))・They have a new dish called "Squid and Shiso Mentaiko Genovese" which is a pasta with basil sauce and chopped shiso. During lunchtime, you get a salad and bread which is a great deal! I already love Genovese and mentaiko, so a pasta that combines the two is just perfect for me. And let's not forget how delicious Mario's noodles are! They are chewy and I love them. The mentaiko dishes on the menu also look delicious! They also serve alcohol, so you can enjoy a drink! I thought there would be a lot of tourists because of the mentaiko menu, but turns out there are also many locals! Thank you for the meal!

I also ordered the "Plump Shrimp Mentaiko Pepperoncino"! I mainly like creamy pasta, but I also like pepperoncino. The word "plump" in the description also makes me want to order it! By the way, this dish also comes with bread and salad. I have posted some pictures of creamy pasta, so please take a look at those. Just as I started eating the creamy pasta, the pepperoncino arrived! Once again, the red color stands out! Mentaiko has a similar texture to the cream. This pasta doesn't have the mentaiko mixed in, maybe because it's easy to overcook. There are 5 large shrimp, maybe prawns? It says "Shredded dried young sardines and pickled turnip greens as a hidden flavor," but I'm not sure about the dried young sardines. But when pasta, turnip greens, shrimp, and mentaiko come together, the dish looks very colorful and appetizing. It looks very glossy and delicious! Now, let's dig in! First, I tried the pasta without the mentaiko. The pasta is thick and chewy as usual, but it feels like it's cooked a bit firmer. Maybe they cook it differently for pepperoncino since there's no worry about the pasta getting cooked in the sauce like with creamy pasta. The flavor is rich and full of garlic and olive oil. The texture of the turnip greens adds a nice touch to the dish. There are dried young sardines! They were gathered at the bottom, so it's better to mix them before eating. Mixing them evenly enhances the depth of flavor with the sweetness of the dried young sardines. Now, I want to thoroughly mix in the mentaiko! The dish transforms into a different form with the red pearls, making you feel like saying, "I'm in love!" Mixing in the mentaiko adds a spiciness that was quite exhilarating! Since pepperoncino is already a spicy pasta, it felt like a completely different dish compared to eating it without mentaiko. I enjoy spicy food, so I was happily eating it while my wife found it a bit too spicy. It may not be recommended for those who are not fond of spicy food. Finally, there are some shrimp, turnip greens, and dried young sardines left, so I suggest sandwiching them in the bread. Be careful with how you use the shrimp. January is already entering its third week! As the fatigue from the New Year sets in, I recommend going to Super Mario's and trying the pepperoncino! Try it out! The intense spiciness and richness will make your senses tingle, filling your stomach with flavor, and I'm sure it will help you overcome the next day's work without a doubt!

Mainly, I couldn't eat mentaiko for a long time, but finally decided to visit a mentaiko specialty store! This time, I visited "Hakata Menta Spaghetti Super Mario" for the first time! The interior of the restaurant is simple and beautiful, with a peach-colored version of Peach's Castle from Mario 64. Today, I ordered the classic "Basil-scented Mentaiko Cream Pasta" for lunch. The salad that arrived first was fresh and crunchy, with a dressing that felt more like a sauce. The pasta had a creamy sauce with mentaiko mixed in, and the basil on top added a nice fragrance. The pasta was thick and chewy, providing a satisfying texture. The chicken pieces were well-seasoned and added to the overall flavor. The meal was filling and delicious, perfect for a lunch date or special occasion. Overall, a great start to the new year with a satisfying mentaiko pasta dish at Super Mario!

The fresh pasta was chewy and delicious, absorbing the flavors of the sauce. The ample mentaiko with cream, shiso, and nori paired perfectly, while the sous-vide chicken was moist and packed with flavor. The leftover sauce paired perfectly with the bread. Thank you for the meal!

Located in the area of Haruyoshi 3-16-17, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, just a 10-minute walk from the Tenjin area and Canal City Hakata area, is the sister restaurant of "Karaage x Italian Izakaya Mario" called "Super Mario," which opened in October 2020. The name "Super Mario" was chosen to signify aiming for a higher level than "Izakaya Mario." The exterior is on the first floor of an apartment building, and the interior features both counter seats and table seats. The chic monochrome design gives off a stylish vibe, with indirect lighting and USB jacks and outlets at the table seats. The interior is compact but cleverly designed to make the most of the space in a fashionable way. The lunch menu includes six types of spaghetti and seasonal limited pasta on the whiteboard. I tried the most popular dish, "Basil-scented Mentaiko Cream Pasta." The lunch comes with bread and salad, and you can get a free extra-large portion (150g). The dish was visually appealing with a generous amount of mentaiko served in the center. The creamy and rich sauce blended perfectly with the chewy fresh noodles, and the chicken thigh meat topping was delicious. The balance of basil, seaweed, and mentaiko was spot on. This place offers a variety of attractive mentaiko dishes, so it's worth a visit. Highly recommended for mentaiko spaghetti lovers! Enjoy Italy Life☆

Around Hakata's Haruyoshi area, the yakitori restaurants were extremely crowded. Since I didn't have much time, I decided to take a quick stroll. I found a shop specializing in mentaiko pasta. I went in and ordered the Mentaiko Yodare Chicken for only 290 yen. Hakata really knows how to offer great value for money. It paired well with beer. The pasta, made with fresh noodles, was delicious. Sometimes, pasta is a good choice too.

I was curious about this pasta restaurant. The interior was stylish and had a nice atmosphere. The pasta had a chewy texture and the taste was delicious. I regret not getting the large portion. I opted for the dessert set. The chocolate dessert was incredibly delicious. I would like to visit this restaurant again. However, I was bothered by the fact that the staff members were talking loudly to each other the whole time. The service was good, but that aspect was disappointing.

I heard about a trendy restaurant recently and decided to check it out. The soup pasta with mentaiko was delicious. However, the problem arose when I realized that the forks were missing from the drawer in front of each table. I called a staff member over, and instead of politely providing a fork, they handed me a large handful and said, "Please put these in yourself." It was quite off-putting and made me wonder about the level of service and training at this establishment. My friend and I felt uncomfortable and ended up leaving with a bad impression. Am I overreacting, or was this truly unacceptable behavior from the staff?

The lunch set with salad and bread was a good deal. The location may not be very busy, but the staff's customer service is pleasant, so I wish there were more customers coming in. When eating, make sure to mix everything together well before eating!

I finally visited this restaurant that I had been wanting to try since it opened. They offer six different types of mentaiko pasta as well as daily specials and desserts. I ordered the Mentaiko Pasta Special with plenty of toppings, which comes with salad and bread from 11am to 4pm. The salad seemed a bit limp as it was pre-made. The pasta was chewy and delicious, but I felt that the flavor was lacking a bit and the inclusion of small pieces of mentaiko was a bit disappointing.

For lunch today, I wandered around the area near Watanabe Street and ended up here! The name sounds like a video game protagonist, but is it any good? Haha, without worrying about such details, I decided to dive right in! The interior of the restaurant has a calm atmosphere with a counter and tables, and it seems popular with couples and female customers. I looked at the menu and decided to order the following: - Big Leaf Scented Mentaiko Cream Fresh Pasta (1,080 yen) By the way, the noodles come in a regular 120g portion or a large 150g portion, so I chose the large portion this time! You can even order more if you want! The pasta comes with a salad and a baguette! While eating the salad and waiting, the dish was served in about 10 minutes! Oh... the red color of the mentaiko on top of the pasta stands out... The cream also has plenty of mentaiko in it, so the mentaiko flavor is strong! I tried the pasta, where the mentaiko blends well with the cream and pasta without any fishy smell! The flavor of the big leaf and seaweed adds a nice Japanese touch... The slight spiciness of the mentaiko is also pleasantly stimulating! And the fresh pasta! Despite being medium thickness, it's nice and chewy! I like fresh pasta with this level of elasticity... And there are big chunks of chicken in the ingredients! The moist texture and the flavor of the seared skin are delicious! Finally, I dipped the leftover mentaiko cream in the baguette... Mmm, delicious! You can enjoy every bit of the mentaiko without wasting any! Despite the name, I was able to enjoy authentic pasta here! There are other types on the menu, so I might try them out too...

Maruo is a specialty store for mentaiko spaghetti located in Haruyoshi, Fukuoka. The most popular dish during lunchtime is the mentaiko cream spaghetti. The restaurant has a stylish concept and uses fresh pasta in their menu, so the quality is quite good. However, it's a shame that it's located in the drinking district of Haruyoshi, rather than in a lunch or dining market.

Super Mario is a shop that caught my attention! I visited for lunch and had the mentaiko cream spaghetti with salad and bread. The fresh spaghetti was chewy, and there was plenty of mentaiko. Mixing the mentaiko with seaweed and shiso while eating the fresh spaghetti was very delicious.

I went to this place in Haruyoshi because there was a decent line and it caught my attention. The noodles were devilishly delicious. [Menu Received] - Cream Pasta I can't eat fish eggs, so I chose this one. It comes with a salad, which is nice. The pasta had a unique chewy texture and was very satisfying to eat. It was so delicious that I devoured it eagerly and even dipped the leftover sauce with bread. [Overall Impression] This place might become popular. My friend had the mentaiko and shiso pasta, and it was really good. There's also a mentaiko specialty store in Nishinakasu that's close by, so this place might be a hidden gem. [Recommended Usage Scene] When you want to eat pasta, especially when you're really hungry. [Location, Access] Located in the middle of Haruyoshi.

Mochi-mochi pasta with plenty of mentaiko. Haruyoshi "Super Mario" I noticed that a mentaiko spaghetti restaurant had opened on Haruyoshi Street, which is also my commuting route, but I had been passing by because I can't eat carbs at night. However, I found out they also serve lunch. The restaurant is called "Super Mario". They have a Japanese-style menu, but I think the mentaiko cream pasta is the best. It costs 980 yen plus tax, and the dishes are made of Mino ware. They recommended that I take a photo, and the pasta was deliciously chewy. Even if you only order the pasta, it comes with salad and bread. Of course, I enjoyed soaking up the sauce with the bread at the end. It was a bit pricey at over 1000 yen, but it was a treat. Thank you for the meal. Restaurant Information: Super Mario 092-406-7450 3-16-17 Haruyoshi, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City Open from 11:30 to 22:00, closed on Mondays.

I visited the restaurant after seeing it in the media. I couldn't help but wonder if they can survive with just mentaiko spaghetti. Fukuoka is well known for mentaiko, so I think everyone loves it. However, people's preferences vary by generation, so I was interested in how they are targeting different customer demographics. During my visit, I saw a wide range of customers, including young couples, families, and parents with children. Even though the menu mainly consists of mentaiko spaghetti, they offer different variations like carbonara for young people, cream-based for men, and Japanese-style for women. It's nice that customers can choose according to their preferences. The kitchen and floor were managed by three handsome men with different styles. I wonder if the floor staff are part-time workers. Their service was amazing. They explained the dishes and utensils perfectly. When they brought the dishes, they would say "Here you go!" loudly, and the repeated "Here you go!" was nice. [Ordered Items] - Spaghetti with pancetta, mentaiko, and mushrooms for ¥1180 (served in Mino ware from Gifu Prefecture) with salad and bread on the side. The dressing was Southern-style. The pasta is fresh, so they recommended eating it quickly. The mentaiko spaghetti had a lot of mentaiko on top, but the flavor was not too strong or spicy. It was more like there wasn't enough mentaiko. It had a strong black pepper flavor, and the portion of noodles was slightly small. - Original Mont Blanc for ¥850 with Hokkaido melon, pistachio macaron, and Yame matcha sauce. The hojicha ice served with the Mont Blanc was round, showing attention to detail. The inside of the Mont Blanc was surprising, with castella, whipped cream, and biscuits. It was a delightful dessert with various textures. They also mentioned that they serve alcohol in the evening, so please visit again. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience. Thank you very much.
