Comparison

of Salad Fish "SABA BAR Soy Sauce" and "Super Bonito Power Soy Sauce"

Health-conscious people and dieters trust "Salad Chicken". I heard that "Salad Fish" (a fish version of Salad Chicken), an alternative to Salad Chicken, has been slowly gaining popularity for several years, so I tried it!

This time, we compared "SABA BAR Soy Sauce" and "Chokatsukuriki (Super Bonito Power) Soy Sauce" sold at Natural Lawson. Both are high in protein and contain EPA and DHA.

SABA BAR Soy Sauce

SABA BAR Soy Sauce is a product that allows you to eat mackerel anytime, anywhere. Norwegian mackerel is used and seasoned with soy sauce. Each 50 g bottle contains 134 kcal and 13.85 g of protein, and is priced at 314 yen (tax included).


The meat loosens easily, so it is not suitable for eating by hand. Take it out of the pouch onto a plate and eat it with chopsticks.


Yummmm...! It is fatty and extremely delicious! The meat is soft and fluffy, moist and juicy, and you can eat a piece in no time. The flavor of the mackerel and the saltiness of the soy sauce will make you want to eat white rice right away. The bones and skin have been removed, making it easy to eat.


Super Bonito Power

Soy S

auce
Cho-Katsuo-Riki Soy Sauce is a high protein, low fat bonito stick made from domestically produced bonito. Each 50g (1.76oz) stick contains about 73kcal and 15g (0.53oz) of protein. The price is 270 yen (tax included).



In contrast to mackerel, the texture is hard, with little water content, and the meat is stuffed tightly together. The more you chew, the more the bonito flavor and a hint of saltiness seeps out. It is as if you are eating lean meat, and you feel as if "I am taking in protein right now...! and since you chew a lot and use your jaw a lot, you will feel fuller.

Which is more satisfying, SABA BAR or Super Bonito Power?

We recommend SABA BAR when you want to add it to rice or rice balls and eat it as a side dish, and Cho-Katsuo-Riki when you want to fill you up on its own as a snack or light meal. The one that gave me a fuller feeling was Cho-Katsuo-Riki. But personally, I prefer SABA BAR even though it is a bit expensive! I didn't realize it was so easy to eat delicious mackerel without even having to remove the bones....


SABA BAR is also available in other flavors such as "SABA BAR Basil" and "SABA BAR Salt. Another flavor of Cho-Katsuo-Riki is Cho-Katsuo-Riki Ginger. All of these products can be stored at room temperature (unopened), so if you find a flavor you like, you may want to stock up on it as a "healthy snack" for when you get hungry!
