JOKUNA - Korean dried squid - Soft and chewy texture squid (Spicy, Butter, Roasted) (Mix - 2 pack)

I'm the type that likes to try foods as soon as I get them and when this arrived I had been eating my favorite ice cream which I set aside so I could try a piece... and then promptly put the ice cream away because I knew I wasn't going back for it anytime soon.All three flavors are amazing and I ate one entire package in one sitting (not like there's a lot, it's 161 kcal for the whole bag). "Spicy" is Americanized "spicy" though, meaning I couldn't even tell it was supposed to be spicy until I read the package. To give more of an idea of how "spicy" it is, I'm pretty sure my "fresh cracked black pepper is spicy" mom could tolerate it. Regardless, I found the flavors quite distinctive. The Butter was sweet, the Spicy Bulgalbi was spicy sweet flavor, not spicy heat, and the Baked Squid is a more savory flavor that fits nicely in between the two.Do mind that each of those tiny servings has 5-6g or 1.25-1.5 teaspoons of sugar so they're all a little sweet, the latter two balanced by different flavors.I've always loved squid so I'm pleased that this actually tasted both like squid and also like the flavorings; I found it nicely balanced. My only issue is that there wasn't more of it. It's a bit too expensive to regularly buy it as is (not to say I don't understand why it is) but if each flavor came in it's own bag, same size, filled up like actual jerky, (or if I were rich or if it were ebt eligible) I wouldn't be able to stop myself from buying the full size for all three in full bags they were each that good. Maybe they'll stop being "currently unavailable" one day but they'd have to add the baked one, too.--Pictures are of the back of the product both in the native Korean language and in the MTL English language. I suggest using both since the MTL text overlay obscured some of the information such as the kcal on one of the flavors which can only be seen on the original image.Also, if you care about the language translation, "Elvanseok Squid" which was supposed to be the Baked Squid was mistranslated in image ihnc why; "맥반석" is "MaekBanSeok", and "Maek" is not even close to "El" lol. I didn't really look at everything, though so there could be more mistakes.

Delicious snack! Nice packaging, but I wish the portions were a bit bigger. Still, I would purchase this again. 🙂

I loved these, a perfect snack high in protein with good flavor. The quality was very good and for the price there was enough in one packet to have me satisfied. I like the smell but given it is generally a fishy snack I wouldn’t eat it in a crowded environment.

This squid was so good! I bought it because of a Korean reality dating show. I had to try it. Glad I did. One was spicy, one was sweet, and one was a more mild flavor, maybe soy sauce... I'm guessing. I recommend this snack!

I like these things, so I decided to try this particular variation. There are three kinds of squid, different spices. It does taste good, but in my opinion is WAY overpriced. The each portion is super tiny. Not worth the money

you wouldn't think that dried squid would be a little sweet, but it is...very good flavor! I use this with my dried-herb blend for ramen soup, a great addition, but it's actually so good I like to snack on it as is.

After receiving this item- Not what I was expecting. Flavors are odd.

Dry stringy smelly fishy sticks. Not what I was hoping for. Might go ok in soup but did not enjoy snacking on them solo.
