What Reviewers Praise
Posts praising the grain size and saltiness that feels just right stand out. There are also voices saying there is little fishy smell even after thawing, and that they enjoyed salt-cured ikura, different from the soy-sauce-marinated kind. Some posts also praise the look of the wooden box.

What Reviewers Note
For all of the 200g, 600g, and 1kg options, the product is frozen as a single block rather than in smaller portions, and several voices say it needs to be eaten all at once after thawing. A small number of posts also felt the saltiness was on the light side.
