The potato crisps you can buy at GRAND Calbee are characterized by a special and luxurious feel that is different from the usual snacks that you can always get. It is about three times as thick as ordinary potato chips, and it seems that Calbee's original frying method brings out the deliciousness of potatoes. It has a crunchy texture and you can be satisfied with one bag.
