Myeongran-jeot is salted pollack roe, which can be enjoyed in various ways: marinated with sesame oil, grilled, or boiled as soup. The flavor varies depending on regions and recipes, but no matter how you eat it, it’s called a “rice thief” in Korea, which means perfectly delicious.

This delicious salted pollack roe is believed to have come from Japan, but its real origin is Choryang-dong, Dong-gu, Busan. Moreover, the history of Namseon Warehouse Site, currently in Choryang, is the living proof. Established in 1900 as Busan’s first warehouse, Namseon Warehouse served as the largest logistics warehouse in the southern region and was more popular as Pollack Storeroom because it was the gathering place of all pollack caught in Korea at that time. The Japanese who stayed there in those days naturally got to know the salted pollack roe. As they later moved to Japan, they reproduced the flavor of Busan’s salted pollack roe. This was the beginning of Japan’s famous salted pollack roe.
