On October 18, " Calbee Mashed Potato Consomme Punch Flavor " was released in advance at some Ministop stores. Looking at the product name, it was a noisy eating editorial department, but when I looked at the product information, it was a collaboration product with Calbee that "arranged the taste of potato chips consomme punch into mashed potatoes". And I feel a little disappointed.
Still, I'm curious about what I care about! I searched for a store around Ministop in Tokyo and got it right away!
First, let's take a closer look at it. The surface is potato chips color (potato color). It is finished in a dark and golden color. It looks like a long and thin potato is wrapped around it, like the "vegetable meat roll" that you often see in lunch boxes. And when viewed from the side, the mouth part is a dark engine-like color.
Since it's a big deal, let's put it side by side with the original "Potato Chips Consomme Punch Flavor". It's a completely different thing!
Well, I regained my mind and tried to eat ... Before, I tried disassembling it. Take out the hashed potato part inside with a toothpick. Then, what came out was a fox-colored "mashed potato" that was close to the potato color.
I tried arranging the original potato chips, but they are completely different. I also made the outer potato part (?) Finer and arranged it side by side with the original potato chips, but this one may look closer.
Now let's finally get into tasting. First of all, I will eat it as it is. Surprisingly, the taste and fragrance are consomme punches! Consomme punch taste according to prior information . What is different from the original family is its texture. Freshly fried and crunchy potatoes on the outside and potatoes on the inside. It's a new sensation that you can't feel with crisp potato chips.
I tried to eat each disassembled part, but the outside is salty potato chips and the inside is "firmly consomme punch taste" mashed potatoes. It seems that "consomme punch flavored mashed potatoes" will be established only when both are available.
After all, it wasn't "mashed potatoes made from potato chips", but it's still a very tasty knob. It will be on sale at stores nationwide on October 25th, so be sure to try it with beer!
