My husband loved the habanero rings, but we can't find them anymore. He's a consistent BBQ Ozack fan, and I'm addicted to Jagarico sticks. So. Tasty.

Some new chips

on the left is Italian Salad flavor (with basil and anchovy) and the right is buta-man (steamed pork bun).
I only tasted about 3 chips from each bag and I really liked the Italian Salad one but found the buta-man to be too sweet.

Matsuzaka steak flavor, I haven't opened this one yet.
This one and the butaman one are part of a series, I didn't realize this until I looked at their homepage. They bring out 2 new ones every 4 months, you can see pictures of the previous ones here, in the news release from the company.
They are all from different areas...
#1 was Hokkaido's butter potato flavor
#2 was Tohoku's (Sendai) grilled tongue flavor
#3 was Kyushu's (Kagoshima) black pork and tonkatsu sauce flavor
#4 was Hyogo's Kobe beef
#5 and #6 are pictures above

I am not sure how I missed those first ones :biggrin: especially the tongue and tonkatsu.
They don't seem to be doing very well though, I picked them up on sale for 68 yen a bag (about $.50) when most chips are over 100yen..

I can't believe I have posted to this thread for over 2 years, there have been a lot of potato chips in that time!
This one didn't have as much flavor as I expected, Salt and Sesame Oil

mocha cocoa potato chips

the mocha ones are really good. The green tea ones are note special. They just taste like sweet potato chips.
These are both a collaboration with the food celebrity Kimura.
