Just looking at the name and the package makes me scream. I bought the potato chips "The Potato Lightly Salted" and "The Potato Baked Onion Flavor" released by Calbee on October 23rd.
Potato chips that are available only in the area (Hokkaido and eastern Japan areas) and for a limited time. It was jointly developed with JA Biei and Biei, and 100% potatoes from Biei, Hokkaido are used. A designer living in Hokkaido is in charge of the simple and clean package. Pictures of potatoes dug out of the field are appetizing. This must be fiercely delicious! Let's try tasting in order immediately.
First of all, "The potato light salty taste". The jagged "hill-shaped cut" that resembles Biei's hill is eye-catching. It is said that this shape enhances the freshness of the new potatoes and gives it a “popping and crispy texture”.
The scent of potatoes is faintly fluffy
It features a deep zigzag cut that resembles the hills of Biei.
As explained, the balance between lightness with air and crunchy texture is the best. Okhotsk salt is used for seasoning, and scallops are used for the secret flavor. The flavor of fresh potatoes with an earthy odor, mild saltiness, and the faint taste of scallops linger, and this is unstoppable!
Light but chewy, mild saltiness and umami linger!
Next is "The Potato Baked Onion Flavor," which uses Hokkaido onions as a seasoning powder. This also uses a deeply jagged "hill-shaped cut".
The sweet scent of onion is fluffy
This also adopts a "hill-shaped cut"
As soon as you touch your tongue, the gentle sweetness of the onion spreads slowly. After that, the fragrant flavor gently slips through your nose. The more you chew, the sweeter it spreads, so it's ideal to calm down and enjoy it slowly. The delicious taste of eating baked potatoes and roasted onions goes beyond snacks!
The sweetness and fragrance of onions is irresistible!
"The potato light salty taste" and "The potato baked onion taste" that reminds you of Calbee's seriousness. Unfortunately, the sales area is limited to "Hokkaido, Aomori, Akita, Iwate, Yamagata, Miyagi, Fukushima, Niigata, Nagano, Gunma, Tochigi, Saitama, Ibaraki, Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Yamanashi super drugstores". Has been done. The author was able to finally arrange both of the five large supermarkets in Tokyo. Amazon and Rojaco handle it, so it seems better to use it for people who are far away or who want to get it surely. The price is open. The selling price of the supermarket I went to was 138 yen (tax included).
