Jagarico Back with Ume and Korean Laver Flavor

Jagarico is a long-selling snack brand that was created in 1995 using a unique manufacturing method that gives it a pleasant crunchy texture at first and then a crispy texture later. More than 150 different products have been released so far, and there have been many requests for the re-release of past products, so since last year, the "Jagarico" official Twitter page has been reprinting the most popular products from the "Jagarico" series.

The second product in the series is the "Ume and Korean Nori Flavor," which was sold for a limited time in 2017. As a result of voting for the Ume flavor that was released in the past, 915 out of 2,010 votes were received, which is almost half of the total number of votes.

Products released in 2017

Jagarico" has the flavor of fragrant Korean seaweed. The coarse grains of plum and nori on the stick stimulate your appetite, with the sour taste of the plum first, and the nori flavor and sesame oil as you chew.

In 2017, some people said that the sesame oil taste was too strong and the ume flavor was too weak, so we decided to reissue the product with less sesame oil and more ume sourness. The result is a well-balanced combination of the sourness of the ume, the seaweed flavor, and the flavor of the sesame oil, which is favored by ume lovers.

The product contains 52g (1.83oz) and is expected to be priced at around 150 yen (tax included). The product will be available at convenience stores in mid-June, and at other stores in late June.
