    I really enjoyed this tin! The soy sauce was definitely sweetened so you may find it too sweet if you are unaccustomed to sweets. I found it to be well balanced and not overpowering. The fish were cut into bite sized pieces and were moderately firm. I had no issues with the pieces. I ate the tin heated along with white rice and stir fried vegetables. It was a delight and this will be added to my rotation without hesitation.

    This tin is really fantastic. Its our first Japanese tin, and we were totally impressed. My partner’s first comment was “can we just buy a whole tub of these?” The flavor is perfectly balanced between salty, sweet, and fishy. The RTG suggestion to heat them up a little was spot on, it helped them get to a texture that melted in your mouth while maintaining its structure (my favorite texture!) We ate them with poke bowls – rice, cucumbers, carrots, pickled red onions, green onions, spinach, chipotle kewpie, avocado, sesame seeds. Can’t wait to buy them again!!
