From Tohato's long-selling snack "Caramel Corn", the first "official rival" product "Ura Caramel Cheese Flavor" was released today (June 13). The estimated price is 122 yen (excluding tax).

Speaking of caramel corn, it is familiar with its crispy texture, melt-in-the-mouth texture, and sweet flavor. However, this year, which marks the 45th anniversary, a " salty flavor " that overturns the common sense (?) Of caramel corn has appeared.

◆ The taste of the "back" of caramel corn?

Ura Chara Corn is made with Camembert cheese to give it a rich cheese flavor. The package has a black, unsightly character in the shape of a "U" on a blue background that contrasts with the familiar red color.


When I opened the contents, the curled snack was slightly orange. A feeling of size that is one size larger than caramel corn.


When eaten, the mouthfeel is so airy that it melts softly just by pressing it with the upper chin. The scent of cheese and the salty horse taste spread fluffy.

Speaking of which, I feel nostalgic for this taste ... but maybe it's a bit like "curl"?


When I actually ate and compared it, Karl had a stronger salty taste. In addition, the back character corn did not stick to the teeth when chewed, and it melted quickly and was easy to eat!

◆ The texture is also a little different

There is a difference in texture as well as appearance and taste between caramel corn and back caramel corn.

When I ate caramel corn, I had a sensation of hitting my teeth with a "crispy" feeling for the first moment, but from the beginning, the back caramel corn had a light and fluffy mouthfeel.

Personally, I have the impression that the caramel corn that I want to eat as a snack and the back caramel corn that beer goes on. How about you guys?

◆ If you eat two at the same time

As an aside, if you put caramel corn and back caramel corn in your mouth at the same time, the sweetness, fragrance, and saltiness will all create synergies, making it the strongest corn. I want to eat this while drinking cola in a cool room on a hot day and watch a DVD.
