Okay, I wrote, “Oishii!” which means delicious. I just got my eager hands on some Jagabee potato products, and I absolutely love ... munching on them. Many years ago, a small packet, brought in Hokkaido, was given to me as present and till now, I still remember it as the best potato sticks I ever have. Even now, this has not changed. The Hokkaido premium variety, made from non-GMO Hokkaido potatoes, cannot be found in just any supermarkets, so imagine my joy when I saw them in Emporium Shokuhin. The natural taste of potatoes is pronounced in this range of Jagabee products, thus no MSG is needed to enhance the taste. In fact, only salt is used on the colourful, cute Pirika cubes—the colours come from the use of normal, natural red and purple potatoes. I also love Imoko and Kobutaro for its strong taste of umami due to the addition of scallop extract and dried bite-sized sheets of kelp.
So looking forward to get Pokkuru! And latest update: I got them! Eating those crunchy French fries is reliving the fond memories of tasting such awesome potato chips for the first time.
