It's ok if you like the Japanese style. Personally I didnt like it much.

Yes. It's also more 'tangy' as in more of a vinegar taste to it. The lack
of sweetness appeals to me but the tang was a bit too much for what I
wanted.

It's worth a try. Many of my fellows in Sasebo Japan swore by the Japanese
types. Oh, caution note, they also generally have less preservatives so you
have to be more careful with refridgeration of it and any foods made with
it. Not a massive difference, but you might be unhappy with the effect if
you make BLT with it then have it in a lunch box unrefridgerated for several
hours.
