It's not bad, not too salty. The fish roe inside is very dense, and the slight fishy smell is acceptable.
艾呀～玛呀～????
A side dish that my family buys regularly. It is very convenient to mix with rice and noodles. This one is almost not spicy and not too salty. I will buy it again.

I enjoyed it last time so I ordered two packs this time.

when i first opened it, it looked intimidating to eat. thankfully it seemed fresh and didn’t smell fishy. i have not tried it raw by itself but cut it up and added sesame oil, sriracha and kewpie mayo and mixed it together. eating it with steaming hot rice and seaweed tastes really good! i might try making mentaiko udon later but this was a good find to try.
tinamisu
Good amount and tastes good too! I eat it with rice or make a egg sauce with it to pour over noodles!
