Calbee Kataage Potato Chips Ume Flavor, Made in Japan 60g x 12 Packs

Calbee Kataage Potato Chips Ume Flavor 60g x 12 Packs

This series is that the more you chew, the more flavor comes out. These are not the usual light, thin potato chips. Thick-cut potato slices are fried slowly and carefully to create a firmer, crunchier bite with more substance. Because they take more chewing, the aroma, starch sweetness, and layered flavor of the potato open up more fully in the mouth, which is exactly why this series has remained so popular.

Calbee Kataage Potato Chips Ume Flavor is one of the most recognizable Japanese sour-savory flavors in the Kataage Potato lineup. Compared with ordinary flavored chips that mainly rely on strong seasoning, this version emphasizes the refreshing acidity of ume, the aromatic lift of shiso, and the signature thick-cut crunch of the series.

The official product page states that this flavor uses Kishu-grown Nanko ume, with plum flesh powder and plum shiso powder creating a more authentic Japanese ume profile. It is not just a sharp sour snack, but a layered thick-cut chip with clean acidity, deeper umami, and a lingering savory-fruity finish.
