Bigkatt 5 I like this bacon and recommend it to those familiar with more western tastes. The bacon is cured similarly to typical bacon in the states. It has a nice texture and crisp to it when cooked properly. There is a delightful high fat ratio within the bacon giving it amazing flavor.Which may contribute to others reviews and also making it less suitable for the palette of traditional Japanese consumers. But foreigners may enjoy it. I love this bacon and purchase it regularly. I wish I could find it in the local supermarket since it takes time to ship.
