Maruetsu is a supermarket that operates all over the Kanto region. The closest to the author's house is Maruetsu, but since last week, products that tickle the hearts of users have been on sale.

"Calbee potato chips Maruetsu's proud Menchi-katsu flavor" is a potato chip created in collaboration with Calbee. It seems to be a flavor that reproduces the deliciousness of "Maruetsu's proud Menchi-katsu" sold as a side dish.



What came out from the inside was whitish potato chips, contrary to the image of Menchi-katsu. Compared to the brown fox-colored minced meat cutlet, it feels like potato chips that never went out during the summer.


The sweetness of the onion is extruded all over, and the more you chew it, the more it is filled with the taste of meat-based extract. I don't really feel the taste of the sauce, so I think it's really the image of Menchi-katsu itself. If you like "Sapporo potato barbecue taste", you can't stop at the end when you open it.

But when it comes to Menchi-katsu ... that? What is Menchi-katsu? And a confusing taste. So let's get it to appear in the real thing.

Real Menchi is also a must-try ~

This is the original "Maruetsu Menchi-katsu" (138 yen plus tax). The fluffy and juicy putty that pops out of the crispy batter is irresistible! The onions have a strong sweetness and are simply seasoned without spices, so you can add sauce or mustard to your taste to bring out the flavor of the meat. It's often sold out at night in the local area, but if you get lost without a side dish, you'll definitely buy it.

When I tried it again, I found out that for me, Menchi-katsu is "gravy" . Maybe that was what wasn't enough ...


By the way, it's a junk-type potato chip, so it's perfect for evening drinks and excursions. Last year, "Maruetsu's Karaage Flavor" was on sale, so Maruetsu-san, I'm looking forward to the next time as well!
