A cube-shaped potato snack that is easy to pick up. "Koike-ya Hashed Potato" has been released in advance from the end of December at 7-ELEVEN stores in the Tokyo metropolitan area. The sales area is gradually expanding. The price is 138 yen (tax included).
Similar to the familiar dish "hashed potatoes" with hot snacks and breakfast, this snack is made by solidifying finely chopped potatoes into blocks. There are two flavors, "light taste" and "consomme".
One piece is a good size to pick up with your fingertips and throw it into your mouth. The crunchy texture is pleasant. Although it is a block type, it is easy to unravel due to the gap, so it does not make a very loud noise.
The light taste is a good balance between the sweetness of potatoes that gradually spreads and the moderate saltiness. You can enjoy simple taste.
Consomme tastes like consomme from the moment you get on your tongue. Since the surface area is large, you can enjoy a rich consomme feeling.
The whitish one in the back is "light taste", and the dark one in the foreground is "consomme".
It's the same as potato chips in that it's delicious and the bag is instantly ... but the chewy texture makes it more satisfying. Since the bag is self-supporting, it can be used as a container as it is, and it comes with a zipper, making it convenient to carry. Potato snack lovers should try this new shape.
