I’m a big fan of both enoki mushrooms and snow crabs so though I’d give it a try.
It’s awful
It was very very slimy and did not taste like any sort of seafood and nowhere near the taste or texture of snow crab.
Overall very disappointing experience. They should’ve just marketed it as tinned veggies instead of trying to imitate seafood.

I could maybe enjoy it as mushrooms, but the idea it’s anything other than mushrooms is a weird business model
I’m not necessarily opposed to the ideals behind this kind of stuff out there, it costs me nothing to let people enjoy things and let them pretend they’re making some kind of impact on the planet or whatever.
However!!!! They need to stop trying to convince the rest of us that their weird non-meat meats taste like meat, even a little bit. I’ve tried scores of these “vegan options” and while some are not awful, they taste nothing like the genuine article.
this looks kind of like nametake, shoyu/mirin/sake simmered enoki sold in jars. it’s slimy textured and usually eaten with rice. and it’s also very cheap compared to this seed to surf stuff.

i feel like this is the case with a lot of vegan food. i would rather have a nice unpretentious dish of lentils and rice than something pretending to be a familiar meat when it is obviously a pale imitation.
i mean, bless them for trying, but it almost never works. although i will say the vegan burger patties are starting to get pretty decent now.
