I ordered a set for tasting 9 varieties of datemaki. The 9 products arrived frozen, so I thawed them in the refrigerator for approximately 24 hours before tasting them. I compared the characteristics, textures, and sweetness of each product and summarized the evaluations at the end.
The nine-variety domestic datemaki tasting set arrived frozen. After thawing it in the refrigerator for approximately 24 hours, I tasted the 9 products in sequence, including those from スズヒロシーフーズ, 丸生食品, さすぼし蒲鉾, 一正蒲鉾, 鈴松蒲鉾店, and 鐘崎, and introduced the characteristics of each.
Each datemaki differed in the balance of egg flavor, surimi flavor, and sweetness. Their distinctive qualities included a mouthfeel resembling a Japanese-style dessert and varieties in which the fish surimi flavor was prominent. Some products included additional egg yolk, while others contained honey, demonstrating a broad range of flavors.
Finally, the article concluded that all 9 varieties were made from natural ingredients without sweeteners or sorbitol and that each brought out the quality of its ingredients. It also introduced the prices and the backgrounds of the sellers.
In its summary, the article described the set as a new way for datemaki fans to enjoy multiple varieties at the same time. It did not mention the possibility of follow-up coverage or other sets.
