Haven't had a Daruma...but the do have a Namakubi Ecuador...if you see one grab it they are great![
I do the same thing with these! I can't walk buy them at the B&M without picking some up. Have you tried the Ecuador one?
I believe that you are referring to the Daruma. Yes, I've had that one as well but I much prefer the Namakubi in the smaller ring gauge. Tastes rascals.
