The jars are quite large; it's inconvenient to buy three at once. I hope I can buy just one jar in the future.

The salt has large grains and is still very salty. I intended to buy coarse salt to reduce the saltiness but mistakenly bought this kind. However, it's still okay for seasoning.

It's a huge bag, but the salt grains are a bit coarse; you need to control the amount you use, otherwise it will be too salty.
