The most famous potato chip in Japan. It’s a classic potato chip with perfected flavorful-ness, deliciousness, and affordability. Rather than totally new flavors, they are more likely to release tastes that are best fit at change of seasons. Of course, there are varying flavors, but they also release new types like different hardness and unordinary new flavors too. Some meticulous Japanese people eat this with chopsticks.

●Premium Ghana

https://japanese-snacks-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=115&ref=blog
Genre: Chocolate
This chocolate snack has 2 types: thin-bar and round-shape.
The luxurious flavor and package that really pursued its 1 theme is distinctive. The themed flavor is wrapped within chocolate, and the secret to its deliciousness is how that flavor oozes out when bitten. Inside of the chocolate frequently has flavors that matches chocolate well, like tea or fruits. This chocolate is recommended when you want to enjoy a slightly luxurious teatime.

●KitKat

https://japanese-snacks-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=28&ref=blog
Genre:Chocolate
Developed by Nestlé. A chocolate snack that can be shared by breaking into half. It’s technically an international snack, but in Japan, regional limited flavors are frequently released for wide range of areas. The inside wafers are coated with chocolate, and any flavor can be enjoyed deliciously. It’s so popular that if you go to a Japanese tourist spot, they usually have a limited-flavor at giftshops.
Recently released new flavor:
Caramel Pudding

Cup Noodle

https://japanese-snacks-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=610&ref=blog
Genre:Instant Ramen
Pour hot water and ready in 3 minutes, this is a classic instant ramen product. The recent new flavors seem to be pioneering new unexplored possibilities more so than pursuing deliciousness. Many products have very strong first impacts and it is questionable if it’s actually good, but most are legitimately delicious. Personally speaking, all Cup Noodle curry flavor new items are good, and recommended.

Well it’s true that these are all very famous product line series for not just Japan but all over the world. For those of you reading this article too, I feel like you’ve eaten at least 1 out of these 6. But 6 is a lot and it’s actually difficult to keep track each time......

For that dilemma, here is a function that I want you to use! This is a very useful function in Japanese Snacks Republic! The watchlist function!

Genre:Chocolate Snack
A snack that sandwiches rich whipped chocolate with soft langue de chat. The pace of new flavors is slow, but it’s a series committed to the quality of the taste, that its reputation says that new releases are always delicious. The texture when biting into it is delicious, and it’s popularly consumed to take a refreshing break.
Recently released new flavor:
Hazelnut & White Chocolate
https://japanese-snacks-republic.com/product/product_page_14726.html?ref=blog

●Choco Pie

https://japanese-snacks-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=116&ref=blog
Genre: Chocolate, Pie snack
Fluffy pie dough wrapped around whipped cream, then coated with chocolate for this sweet snack. Because it’s so luxurious, this sweet snack has a special image in Japan as ‘THE sweets to have as a reward!’ The fluffy texture is extremely delicious, but in my opinion, it’s also delicious to freeze the chocolate and whipped cream like ice cream and then eat it. I recommend it. New flavors are not released as often, but they always pick the best choice flavor that can’t go wrong for that season.
Recently released new flavor:
Amaou Strawberry
https://japanese-snacks-republic.com/product/product_page_14997.html?ref=blog

●Pizza Potato

https://japanese-snacks-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=109&ref=blog
Genre:Potato Snack
A snack that mixes potato snack with flakes that recreate pizza deliciousness like tomato, salami, and parsley. In the past, there were no additional flavors, but recently, they started to release new flavors occasionally. Its base is already perfected for the flavor, texture, and the concept, so varying flavors are unmistakably delicious.
Recently released new flavor:
Mayonnaise with Mentaiko
https://japanese-snacks-republic.com/product/product_page_17276.html?ref=blog

●Maru-chan

https://japanese-snacks-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=1422&ref=blog
Genre:Instant Ramen
Instant ramen that includes both cup noodle and the cooking-with-pot type. Compared to Cup Noodle that releases new flavors that no one would think of, Maru-chan releases more orthodox ramen flavors in shorter spans. Typically, they often release light flavored ramen that’s recognized for its taste, but in recent years they have been releasing thicker flavor ramen too.
Recently released new flavor:
Tonkotsu & Soy Sauce
https://japanese-snacks-republic.com/product/product_page_15438.html?ref=blog

●Peyoung

https://japanese-snacks-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=635&ref=blog
Genre: Yakisoba
This is a company that’s known for releasing the ‘Sauce Yakisoba,’ that adds sauce to flavor boiled noodles. It has the impression that it releases new spontaneous flavors at irregular periods as opposed to new flavors to match the season. Peyoung is known for occasionally releasing horribly spicy yakisoba almost impossible to eat. Because it’s so spicy, eating it all is extremely difficult, and Youtubers are often seen eating as a food challenge video.
Out of the food released from Peyoung, the ones with red packages are mostly spicy, so be cautioned.
Recently released new flavor:
Hellishly Hot Chili
https://japanese-snacks-republic.com/product/product_page_13865.html?ref=blog
※Horrifically spicy food. Warning, be careful because we don’t take claims after eating.
