NAMISO OKINAWA Organic Sea Grapes,Organic Seaweed, Umibudo, Green Caviar, Dehyrated lato, Seagrapes , Superfood - Enhance Health, Boosting Immune System (3.5 Oz (Pack of 5), 1 box)

Soak in warm water, rinse a few times and serve it on a bowl of ice water to keep the crunch. This method made it crunchy, satisfying and not salty or fishy at all. A super fun item to try with friends and family. I did learn the hard way to leave sauce on the side and dip it, especially if it contains salt (and if I had stopped to use common sense I could have avoided this). I tried to add a ginger, miso soy dressing to it and eat it like a salad but the salt caused them to shrink back down and lose the crunch within minutes. Dipping it still kept size, crunch and shape.

The closest taste to the bounty of seas.

It smells very strongly of that ocean/sea/beach shore smell of seaweed, the taste is kinda salty but it is very satisfying to eat.

This was great. Not exactly like fresh, but still good. Make sure to follow directions of placing seaweed in cold water first. It washes the salt off and expands while in the cold water. Once it’s plumped up, enjoy!

This was my first time trying seagrapes. I've seen them in ASMR videos before and have always wondered if they tasted as good as they looked. I usually like seafood things including nori so I felt like this was right up alley! They seem like a good quality product for the price, and are super easy to rehydrate. I love the texture of them but the taste not so much... It was just a little too oceany tasting for me. I'm glad I try these though because I have always wondered and I think some people might really like this even if I'm not one of them. I'm curious what you could do with these besides just eating them with the sauce.

I love all kinds of seaweed so I figured I would enjoy this! I attempted to prepare this multiple times using clean spring water to rinse it down and to rehydrate. I made my own sauce to dip it in and also tried it plain. But no matter what I did, it just had this awful almost light chemical after taste and left a weird feeling in my mouth. I really wanted to like it because the watery crunch was a nice texture but this was just a total waste of money.

Never had these before, but I've had other seaweeds in soups, salads, etc. These are fun. They come in a small packet of what I think is brine, and you put them in water for 3 minutes, rinse, then put them in colder (I used ice water literally) to crispen them up. From there you can tip them in the sauce of your choosing as they don't have more than a hint of seaweed/sea flavour. (I rinsed them 3 times, so maybe I washed out the brine completely...oops?) If you've ever see a video of river/clawless otter going to down on seafood, this was me. I was all about the fun mouth feel. I have never had it fresh, so I can't compare it to that, but it was definitely still popping in my mouth with a pleasant, cathartic sort of popping edible bubblewrap sort of way. It came with 2 packets of kewpie seasame dressing, and I can put that stuff on anything like a Frank's Hot Sauce commercial. It was good. No complaints. No saltiness complaints. No unclean/rancid water taste. Just tasted like seaweed. Smelled like the ocean.

Omg these were so good! And fun! We used Italian dressing and seriously enjoyed them. You get 5 packs and the grow 5x times their normal size. The popping is such a satisfying texture!
