The banana chips have a crunchy and soft texture. The banana chips have a crunchy texture and a mild sweetness that spreads in the mouth. The coconut oil gives the chips a rich flavor and makes them very satisfying.
The iriko (dried sardines) also has a crunchy texture and an addictive salty taste. The strong flavor makes you want to drink beer. The aftertaste has a slight bitterness peculiar to fish.
The shrimp are small but full of flavor. The wakame seaweed adds an oceanic flavor to the deep taste of the shrimp and dried sardines. Crispy almonds add a pleasant accent.
Banana and iriko or wakame seaweed is a combination that I would never try by myself, but it goes surprisingly well together. All the ingredients are chewy, and the more you chew, the more flavorful they become. The sweetness, saltiness, bitterness, savory flavor, and richness of each ingredient were in perfect balance, and the taste kept me coming back for more.
