Hello everyone~! This is Saori from Japanese Snacks Republic!

This time! Potato chips that perfectly recreate a food synonymous with Japanese summer! It’s made from potatoes—but tastes like corn!? Let me introduce this new flavor!

Grilled corn, as the name suggests, is simple but incredibly delicious—and a true symbol of summer in Japan! Corn harvested in summer is coated generously with soy sauce and butter, then grilled over a mesh rack and eaten with a big bite! It’s a staple at barbecues, and its presence at summer festivals makes it strongly associated with the season.

So how did they recreate grilled corn? By using plenty of corn powder from Hokkaido! Since it’s a ‘kataage’ (hard-fried) style chip, it mimics the firmer texture of grilled corn, and as you bite into it, the butter and soy sauce powders soak into the flavor! From the aroma when you open the bag to the rich umami of soy and butter as you chew, it’s packed with flavor! Definitely check out Kataage Potato - Burned Corn Flavor—a potato chip that lets you taste the delicious essence of Japanese summer corn!
