Forgot to take a photo before I opened the product. I sliced and wrapped up the pieces separately while still frozen before storing it in the freezer. I bought this for the first time on my last order to make spam musubi, and it turned out great. It’s sweet, which balances well with the salty spam. Makes about 8-12 spam musubi depending on how thick you cut it.

They were all blue eggs, but they were well-packaged, and the yolks were rich in color, just like Japanese eggs. I really like them.
