Mentaiko is the roe or fish eggs from a pollack. Because of the size of the noodle and texture, angel hair pasta (which is commonly used) may be more mild in flavor and complementary in size and texture to the Mentaiko.
There is sometimes a consideration for how well the sauces "stick" to a pasta and the traditional Italian pasta may just be a better fit for this dish.
