のりこぴ
I've seen this brand name here and there.
I bought it because it was sold in a supermarket near me.
It was heated up.
I felt the alcohol in my nose.
I thought, "Have I done this? But when I put it in my mouth, I felt a surprisingly calm umami.
It has a good balance of refreshing acidity and umami, and is both spicy and crisp.
Chilled
I think the sharpness of the heated version is gone.
I couldn't tell much when it was warmed, but it is a little thick.
This thickness softens the alcohol and keeps the balance with the umami.
It doesn't have a piercing sensation, but it can be served cold or warm, and it's a great value for around 900 yen.
