First time trying this brand. I’m looking forward to trying it.

Because it's low in salt, it has just the right balance of sourness and saltiness. I added cucumber to increase the volume.
Mami
I bought this because it was newly on sale! It was cheaper, so it was smaller than the mozuku I usually buy. The taste wasn't very sour. Perhaps because I'm used to my usual mozuku, I personally prefer it to be a little more vinegary.

It was delicious. It looks like it'll be gone soon, so next time I'll buy a larger quantity.
