Fresh Potato Chip Fermented Somifa

The product will first be available as a mail order only product on the Kikusuido operated mail order site from June 1 at noon. Ingredients are potatoes (domestic, non-genetically modified), vegetable oil (rice oil, palm oil), powdered soybean fermented food (soybeans, rice), and salt.
