So far, we have sold the unique "X" French fries with an "X" cross section and the bale-shaped mini potato "Tokachi Hashed Potato" (both for 198 yen) using "Hokukai Kogane". Ministop. This thick-sliced jagged potato is the first thick-sliced potato to be finished in an oval shape with a jagged surface.

● I tried to eat it one step ahead

I went to a Ministop tasting party and tried a thick slice of jagged potatoes.


Use the German production of potatoes "Aguglia species", it Yes fried and cut each skin to a thickness of about 9mm. By the way, the potatoes are the ones that were just harvested in the fall of 2015.

There is also a jagged function on the surface, and the texture at the moment of biting is crispy! However, the inside is moist, smooth and creamy. The sweetness spreads, which is not thick and sticky. In addition, the slightly bitter skin has a strong presence, and it feels like you are eating freshly fluffy potatoes as they are!


● Is there a difference in taste?

The question then is, is there any difference in taste from other French fries lineups? That is. So I tried and compared the other two items!


First, X French fries that use the same variety of potatoes as the thick-sliced jagged potatoes. It is a long-selling product that has been on sale since 2004.

The X-shaped cut increases the surface area, allowing you to enjoy a crispy texture. The impression of crispy feeling is stronger than creamy.


Next, Tokachi hashed potatoes. This is a bite-sized mini hashed potato made from "Hokukai Kogane" potatoes from Tokachi, Hokkaido.


The outside is crispy and crunchy. The inside is roughly crushed, but there is a lump in it, and it crumbles on the tongue. The seasoning is simple salt. It's already "salty", so it's delicious enough without ketchup.


I enjoyed the deliciousness of the three parties, but the one that tasted the best and seemed to accumulate in my stomach was the thick-sliced jagged potatoes. X fried potatoes are crispy and sweet. Tokachi hashed potatoes were the most chewy and had a friendly salty taste. And all seem to go best with beer! Why don't you buy all three for adults and have a home party together?
