Seijo Ishii Half-Life Type Dry Dates
"Dates" are becoming more common in the dried fruit department these days.

However, since it contains a lot of sugar, the standard to eat is about 3 tablets a day.
Up to 3 tablets a day is a guide
The characteristics are a soft mouthfeel and a rich, rich sweetness. In terms of familiar things, it resembles a dried persimmon.
Sticky and rich sweetness
It is delicious to eat as it is or topping with ice cream or yogurt, but it is also recommended to use it as a snack. Simply slice it in half and add cream cheese or nuts to complete a simple hors d'oeuvre. Or you can make a cut and sandwich the ingredients.
Mentaiko is surprisingly good. The spicy spiciness, strong umami and saltiness are well-balanced with the rich dates. It goes well with meat, but thinly sliced prosciutto may lose the sweetness of dates. Thick and strong bacon is recommended.
