potato chips
We taste-test a revolution in potato chips, and realize that something important has been missing all along.
Koikeya has a new item in their line of Pride Potato luxury chips, and the special ingredient is golden — quite literally!
Specifically women who want to share lovely photos of whatever they’re eating on social media.
Ever wished you could get a little less flavor on your chip? Wish no more; now you can experience them as nature intended, lightly fried in oil.
Or, if you’re in the mood for something less crunchy, there’s the option of tempura soba-flavor popcorn.
Can’t make it to Japan/wait for the official release? Here’s how to whip up a substitute in just a few easy steps.
The latest offering from Japanese snack manufacturer Calbee has got some people eagerly awaiting its release and others scratching their heads in puzzlement.
Get a taste of seven different Japanese soup stocks with every bite of these new Don Quijote-exclusive chips!
Nope, that’s not backwards. The chips really are on the outside in this awesomely clever idea.
