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

This time! A regional-exclusive potato chip flavor from Japan’s Tohoku area has been renewed for the first time in 8 years! It’s not just ordinary nori shio anymore! With an even stronger seaweed flavor and the addition of ‘that extra kick,’ the deliciousness has gone through the roof~!

The Nori Shio Punch-style potato chips are a regional-exclusive flavor that used to be sold mainly in Japan’s Tohoku region! It’s not made with any special local ingredients in particular, but since it isn’t sold nationwide, it’s actually pretty rare to come across!

Compared to regular nori shio chips, these contain more seaweed, while the amount of chili pepper isn’t too strong, so they’re not overwhelmingly spicy at all! The focus is still on being easy to enjoy and delicious — it’s like a premium upgrade to the classic nori shio flavor! If you love nori shio but also enjoy a little spicy kick, definitely check out the newly renewed regional-exclusive ‘Potato Chips Nori Shio Punch,’ back for the first time in 8 years!
