I received some smoked eggs from Mr. Sasagawa that I had bought before March 14, 2016. I have a very positive impression of these smoked eggs and I always buy them whenever I come across them. Although they are a bit pricey, the delicious taste makes it worth it. However, today when I tried to peel the shell, the egg white stuck to the shell and it didn't peel smoothly like before. When I tasted it, the yolk was indeed half-cooked, but the texture was completely different. It used to be moist and smooth, but today it was crumbly. I was honestly surprised. I checked the expiration date and it was not expired at all. Maybe there are some inconsistencies in the product, or the quality has decreased. I will try it again, and if the result is the same as today, I will have to lower my rating. For now, I will keep my current rating, but it's disappointing since I really loved this product. I hope to have a delicious smoked egg next time!! Thank you for the meal. ----- [This Smoked Egg is Delicious as Always!] After enjoying delicious meat at Gan-nen, we decided to visit the newly opened Mitsui Outlet's Maple Mall. I wasn't particularly interested, but since it was the first time for my parents, I went along. Instead of buying anything, we decided it would be better to go to Hokkaido Loco and check out the food there. That's where I found this - Sasagawa once again (laughs). There were many interesting items being sold, but this is what I always end up buying. Smoked eggs!! Today, I didn't hold back and bought the pack of 6 eggs! I wanted to share with my parents. When we got home, we enjoyed it as a snack with alcohol. Oh!! This is it!! The perfect amount of smokiness and saltiness... and most importantly, the moist yolk!! It's a bit pricey, but it's delicious!! I just had one. The rest will be a delight for another day. Thank you for the meal! ----- [This Time, a Pack of 6 Eggs!] This time, my wife ordered it for me from Tokyu Department Store!! I love this - Sasagawa. Once I tried it, I always buy this smoked egg whenever I find it! This time, it's a pack of 6 eggs!! I have to savor this. Let's start with one. Oh... the perfect amount of smokiness!! And the half-cooked yolk!! It's delicious!! I feel like having a second one, but I'll refrain (laughs) because I'm having a fried egg before this (laughs). I still have 5 more, so I can enjoy this taste for a while!! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!! ----- [Delicious Smoked Egg from Sasagawa!] I went to Hokkaido Loco again and bought the item that I liked and purchased before! Sasagawa smoked eggs!! I love this!! Of course, I enjoyed it as a snack with alcohol, and the smoky aroma is very good, and the yolk is half-cooked... irresistible!! It's a bit pricey, but it's a must-have delicacy!! I will buy it again. Thank you for the meal!! ----- [This Smoked Egg is Unlike Any Other!] I bought this at Hokkaido Loco inside the Mitsui Outlet. I bought it thinking it would be a good snack with alcohol. It's a smoked egg from Hakodate Monogatari Co., Ltd. Sasagawa. Honestly, I didn't have high expectations when I bought it, just got it casually. I love smoked eggs! However!! Once you taste this, you'll be hooked!! When you peel the shell, you'll find slightly brownish eggs. The aroma is very good! And if you look closely, there are brown spots on the egg white. This must have been from the smoking process. I'm not sure why it becomes mottled.

In March 2016, I tried a smoked egg made with eggs containing astaxanthin, and the semi-soft yolk was a vibrant orange color. It is aged for over 20 days in vacuum packs to allow the flavors to penetrate. The shell was quite difficult to peel, but the semi-soft yolk was perfect, with a strong salty taste and a delicious smoky aroma. The eggs come vacuum-sealed in a bag, and peeling them while still in that state allows for a smooth peel. Thank you for the meal! ✿ฺ(๑´ڡ`๑)✿ฺ.

I found this irresistibly charming scene at the newly renovated Ichikawa Chapeau in the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi department store! The combination of tender and moist squid with a creamy half-boiled egg is just fantastic. The description says they use fresh squid caught near Hokkaido and stuff it with Hokkaido's "Biei eggs" in a half-boiled state. Although there have been reports of squid shortages in the waters near Hokkaido in recent years, it's understandable that the squid is quite small. It's a bit sad for squid rice dishes, but the size is just right for adding eggs. It's a perfect match for a side dish!

I was called over to try a sample at Boni's underground, and it was delicious. It had just the right amount of salt, with an orange-colored yolk that was between soft-boiled and hard-boiled. They offered to reduce the price from 250 yen to 200 yen, so I bought it. It came with three boiled eggs. I bought it on the 5th, but the expiration date was the 13th, so it lasts quite long. When I looked it up, I found out that it was from a company called Hakodate Monogatari, which sells smoked eggs. I heard that you can buy smoked eggs at airports, so they might also sell boiled eggs in the city. The smoked eggs must be delicious since these boiled eggs were tasty. Hakodate Monogatari uses natural rock salt for a light flavor, and smokes the eggs with cherry chips without using smoked liquid, then vacuum-packs them. I'll definitely try them next time I see them.
