Sea grapes 海葡萄 @ Okinawa Route 58

I have always wanted to try these Sea grapes, but the only place you can order them is at the restaurant. I looked them up on Wiki but the pictures look so different, the ones on wiki are not transparent and look nothing like these. Anyway they came with a little bottle of Sesame sauce which I had to use sparingly.
I do not usually like sesame sauce [not to be confused with sesame oil] but the Japanese version is different because it is slightly sour, the Chinese sesame sauce that is found in rolled rice rolls is just sweet and creamy.
The size of these sea grapes is about 2-3mm in diameter. The lengths of these sea grapes are about 4-5cm. Without the sauce they taste slightly salty, but with the sauce the sourness and the saltiness taste nice together.
It was quite fun to eat them, the tiny capsules pop with fluid.
