Because it is bland, you can enjoy the natural and slightly salty taste of the sea grapes.
It tastes good to me. However, some people don't really like bland-tasting food.

Eating a sea grape bowl at a recommended restaurant MIYARABI is a much better deal than if you buy only sea grapes at supermarkets in Japan.
If you buy the same quantity of sea grapes at supermarket, it costs more than 900 yen.
This restaurant offers affordable meals especially at lunch time.

I know some Izakaya bars (Japanese style pubs) offer sea grapes, but usually it is not so cost-effective, and you also need to pay the cover charge around 300- 500 yen.
