What does the kabayaki glaze taste like on these sardines?

The kabayaki glaze is a savory-sweet coating that highlights the natural richness of the sardine. You’ll notice caramelized soy notes and a light umami finish rather than sharp fishiness, making the cans versatile in both savory and slightly sweet applications.
