Thank you! Pastas are very popular in Japan, especially among Japanese ladies. Some people even insist you should choose an Italian restaurant for your first date place. Unfortunately, I'm a toy-poodle and can't take that advice so far... -Francis :)
Hello Chef! this reminds me of a Greek sauce we call Tarama, it is made from fish roe, lemon, olive oil, onions and bread or boiled potato. We blend everything up in a blender and then serve it usually on bread or with grissini sticks (it has the texture of mayonnaise). It's one of my favorites! I find it amazing how we have similar things in cultures that are so far away from each other! I will definitely try this pasta! Thank you!
I am so happy to see this recipe. Mentaiko spaghetti was one of my favorites dishes when I lived in Japan, but I never learned how to cook it because I thought it was difficult! Now I know how simple it is, I will try to make it. Thank you, Chef and Francis!!
I studied abroad in Japan a few months ago, and my host mother would often make mentaiko pasta for me and my host brothers. I absolutely love it! Thank you Chef-san and Francis! I am so happy you are doing well!
I'm Italian and i can say that we use pasta water to adjust the sauce! In every restaurant and even at home we do it, especially with some kind of sauce..
I was having a bad day until I noticed there was a new video up. Thanks for making my day entirely better! I hope the three of you are doing well, and give Francis and extra hug for me!
THE CHEF IS AMAZING, her mastery in culinary arts brought and will continue to bring smiles to people's countenance daily, thank you for your time and effort. Cooking with dog FTW
Chef is amazing. I am glad she recovered well. When I lived in Japan I used to eat this meal all of the time and loved it. Im going to try to create this for myself.
I live in Tennessee where perilla grows wild and I use it often. My Japanese wife loves mentaiko and I am anxious to try this. Glad to have you back chef. You are as beautiful as ever.
I just re-watched your first videos when you started. I gotta say, everything has improved vastly since then, chef looks so much younger and better now than 5 years ago lol and I'm jealous of the Japanese, all of your ingredients look extremely fresh, juicy, and visually appealing
I've randomly had an instant version of this one day at my house and have always wondered about the name. I'm so happy you posted this. Maybe I'll set aside a special day to make this. Yum. Thank you.
Actually, it's very typical. Not just Japan. In almost all of pasta recipes I've seen, they like to add a few tablespoons of the pasta water to the sauce because it help to thicken it.
This sauce looks very similar to the Greek Tarama, Taramosalata. If you keep beating that roe and lemon with oil as you're doing, you can make a kind of mayonnaise! This might also be suitable for the Japanese taste. The tarama is like that roe, it typically comes in a jar, in Middle-Eastern markets. It's very salty and fishy tasting, but when it's made into a dressing is very tasty.
This channel is so cute I swear hahahah. The narration by doggy😂 Thanks for the awesome cooking videos, all of the food looks so yummy it's making me reallyyy hungry!! Thumbs up for the effort and everything👍 New subscriber here!!
I love these videos. I'm slowly learning Japanese by listening to the chef. Talking about food is a great inspiration to learn a different language. :P
Francis looks like the Frank Sinatra of dogs in this clip!! Sooo cute. Very nice, simple recipe made with Japanese attention to detail, which gives it that "special" lift. Thank you and glad you are both well.
Although I probably will never actually cook or maybe even taste most of the dishes that are shown on this show, I love watching it, its fun to learn about different ingredients and how to work with them.
Ooooh, now I need to find mentaiko in Canada. This looks delicious, and I love seeing Chef smile at the end, even if she's tripping over her words. Yes, Francis, 'so far'. That never stopped The Lady and the Tramp!
Hahahaha!!! Francis is so cute! I made this but did not put daikon. It was delicious!!! My favorite way to have mentaiko is with musubi, especially if the nori is freshly roasted! Oishi!!!
Packaged mentaiko is available from S&B in most Japanese stores. I use that all the time, compared to chef's video, it probably has significantly more MSG and preservative chemicals. I'd love to get my hands on real/fresh mentaiko, but outside Japan it's probably non-existant.
I'm also italian and I can confirm we use cooking water in this kind of preparation; instead I don't suggest to use thin spaghetti: use medium to large diameter . Another advice is use whole wheat flour pasta if you can find it and always "trafilata al bronzo" because this kind of manifacturing will help pasta retain the flavour and the liquid of the seasoning you're cooking. The best pasta is "artigianale" cost is very high even here so we don't usually buy it, but elite restaurants does.
Happy that she is doing well? Well, she the chef recently got better after an accident and being in the hospital so now that she is better, people are wishing her well.
I have tried this before but not with lemon, cheese, daikon radish & leaves. But will try your ingredients. I just basically added olive oil, garlic minced, roe of pollock, drops of soy sauce and added shredded nori on top.
fish roe, i believe it is mullett roe. the mediterranean has a similar version (but dried) called botargo. good quality botargo is about US$300 for 1 kilogram. they are yummy!

As an italian I can say that we frequently use pasta's cooking water to adjust our sauces. The chef did nothing wrong at all.

Reminds me of "Lady and the Tramp", the Pasta, I mean and without the Mentaiko.

Glad to see Chef back at what she loves to do and what we love to see her do :-)
Although I will most likely never make many of this recipes, I always enjoy watching the elegant techniques with which the Japanese cook.
So glad you're making videos again, I hope you and Francis are well!
I love Francis' hat it's so cute. And the dish sounds yummy.
Chef is amazing. I am glad she recovered well. When I lived in Japan I used to eat this meal all of the time and loved it. Im going to try to create this for myself.

im glad chef is back in the kitchen! God bless her soul, im sure she reminds us of all our mothers.
YAY! i LOVE mentaiko spaghetti and i'm so happy to see chef back and in action again, looking so lovely and healthy and doing what she does best!!! :D
I just re-watched your first videos when you started. I gotta say, everything has improved vastly since then, chef looks so much younger and better now than 5 years ago lol and I'm jealous of the Japanese, all of your ingredients look extremely fresh, juicy, and visually appealing
I find that extremely japanese accent soothing, for some reason.
If you watch enough of these you'll start talking like Francis! At least for Japanese words.
I've randomly had an instant version of this one day at my house and have always wondered about the name. I'm so happy you posted this. Maybe I'll set aside a special day to make this. Yum. Thank you.
お料理アップはもちろんですが、私は、シェフとフランシスの顔を毎回見ることができるのがとても嬉しく癒されます♪ それと ビデオの最後のコメントあとのオマケが大好きです。
I made this recipe last night. It was SO good! I'm glad it wasn't difficult to find Mentaiko here in Seattle.

Thank you chef and... 日本がんばれ！！
I love these videos. I'm slowly learning Japanese by listening to the chef. Talking about food is a great inspiration to learn a different language. :P
That little hat makes Francis look even more adorable!

I'm thai and now live in sweden. I have very hard time finding ingredient, Thanks to you. I will try this one out!
Cooking with Dog is the only channel that even before viewing the videos I already give it a thumbs up lol!
Ooooh, now I need to find mentaiko in Canada. This looks delicious, and I love seeing Chef smile at the end, even if she's tripping over her words. Yes, Francis, 'so far'. That never stopped The Lady and the Tramp!
Wow - a great fusion of Japanese and Italian cuisine!
Thank you Chef! Francis' hat is sooo adorable on him!
Chef, you look great. It's good to see how well your recovery is going.
Good to see you :) genki desu!
This is so good! I'm so glad you're back Francis and Chef! I wish you more cooking in the kitchen and better health :)
it always makes my day to see a new cooking with dog video!
The bloopers at the end of Cooking With Dog videos are the best!!
Mentaiko is a short name for Karashi-Mentaiko. Karashi indicates hot peppers and usually mentaiko is spiced and marinated before you buy it. -Francis
My brother brought mentaiko from Japan last night. I will make this dish for dinner!
Thanks, Francis. :D
Oh my goodness, the hat! Adorable. The food is top notch and easy to follow as well. Love you.
Oh my japanese friend made this for me once and it was actually really tasty!! I was a little scared at first but I actually really enjoyed it!
Every video you are looking stronger and better! Love to see you back my dear.
1:28 LOL Francis is having a blaaast. Look at that laughin' dog!
i am always so hungry after i watch cooking with dog. Chef is awesome!!!
Funny how different cultures have similar ways to use ingredients! Both sound so good.
Hahahaha!!! Francis is so cute! I made this but did not put daikon. It was delicious!!! My favorite way to have mentaiko is with musubi, especially if the nori is freshly roasted! Oishi!!!
I'm glad you recovered and you are well. Stay healthy!
It's great to have you both back!
I agree! As serious as I heard the accident had been, I was worried she wouldn't be coming back, but she looks amazing! :) Welcome back, Chef!
Packaged mentaiko is available from S&B in most Japanese stores. I use that all the time, compared to chef's video, it probably has significantly more MSG and preservative chemicals. I'd love to get my hands on real/fresh mentaiko, but outside Japan it's probably non-existant.
Ah. nothing made my day complete than watching new video from cookingwithdog.
i tried once in japanese spaghetti restuarant. it's amazing!
OMG! The pepper shredder! BEST INVENTION EVER!
I am so glad that you are back and healthy!
I'm so happy you have gotten better and wish you wellness for your future.
So happy Chef and Francis are back with us.
So good to have you back, Chef!
Glad to see you looking so well, chef! Love your hairdo. Oh, and the food looks delicious as always.
I love pasta and that looks really good. I'm glad Chef is back : D
I'm also italian and I can confirm we use cooking water in this kind of preparation; instead I don't suggest to use thin spaghetti: use medium to large diameter .

I "like" before I watch just because I'm happy you're back and doing well.
that looks so good and the upcoming recipe looks awesome!!!
I'm so happy to see you are doing so well chef!
Chef looks more and more beautiful with each passing episode
Excellent as always. What an inspiring chef. Please keep posting. The dog is cool too.
So glad to see chef is back!
I agree. The starchy water helps the sauce to thicken and stick to the pasta. It's traditional in Italy.
So happy you're back and doing well! :)
That hat. So adorable. This recipe looks sooo good.
Ah! Natsukashii! I love mentaiko spaghetti. I used to eat it all the time in Tokyo. Arigatou, chef!
soooo glad u're back!~!~!!!! I miss u soooo much!!!
手際が良くて、見た目も美味しそうで
素晴らしいですね！
so glad to see you back, chief!
Happy that she is doing well? Well, she the chef recently got better after an accident and being in the hospital so now that she is better, people are wishing her well.
I'm glad your back! Love your vids!! And yes I hate rude comments...
Yay for chef and Francis! Good health for life! :D
うまいよ、これ。日本にしかなかったのか。
You don't know how happy I was to see this video in my sub box! haha so yummy looking! :)
Great recipe!! But what is so nice is to see you doing so well!
I'm not a fan of fish, but for some reason, I love roe! And this looks SO good! You look great, by the way! Like that accident never even happened!
I have tried this before but not with lemon, cheese, daikon radish & leaves. But will try your ingredients. I just basically added olive oil, garlic minced, roe of pollock, drops of soy sauce and added shredded nori on top.
That is the most epic pepper grater I have ever seen O____O
agreed, the slight extra starch is great for adding to sauces.
LOL Francis!!!!!!!! I laughed so hard I almost choked on my dinner!
i'm glad that chef are recovered too!!! many grettings from Santiago de Chile, chef!! =DDDD
oh my goodness, can I just say, that is the cutest hat ever on francis!!
Mmm mentaiko is so yummy! I can't wait to try making this ^__^ Thank you so much! *aims to go to the store to pick some up soon~*
Yeeeh!!! Spaghetti "al dente"! Great job! Ciao from Italy!
Sugoi! Japanese/Italian fusion oh how awesome!
Pollack roe is korean food.
I'm so glad you are back.
fish roe, i believe it is mullett roe. the mediterranean has a similar version (but dried) called botargo. good quality botargo is about US$300 for 1 kilogram. they are yummy!
This woman is class.

I live in Japan and the mentaiko spaguetti is very delicious!
Although I'm not a big fan of mentaiko, I love all your videos!
I see mentaiko spaghetti a lot here in Japan, haha.
