In September 2016, "Ritz," "Oreo," and "Premium" were reborn. Until now, Yamazaki Nabisco has been manufacturing and selling for about 46 years, but it has changed to Mondelez Japan sales.
It's been about a month since the renewal. When I picked up the Ritz lined up on the shelves of the store, taking it for granted as a new Mondelez version product, it was an old Yamazaki version product.
Actually , when I went to the Mondelez recital , the package was so similar to the Yamazaki version that I remember being confused. You may be in trouble because you don't know whether the store or house is old or new in front of you. Maybe. Maybe ...
Therefore, I thoroughly compared the packages of the three products. I hope you will read it as a record of nostalgia for old products.
◆ In the case of Ritz
The cracker "Ritz" that is familiar in commercials. At first glance, it looks almost the same, but ...
・ Front
First, from the front of the box. The rough design is almost the same, but the "RITZ" logo and the catch phrase in the upper right are slightly different.
For the time being, it's okay if you remember that "the dynamic logo is the new Ritz".
・ Back side
If you turn it over and look at the back side, the old product is gorgeous with plenty of "on the ritz" recipes. On the other hand, the new product is the same as the front ... Maybe this was the front !?
・ Side
Although the layout is different, necessary items such as nutrition labeling are printed. Suffice it to say, the "N mark" in Sumikko has changed to the "M mark".
・ Contents
Well, the important contents are ... It's completely different.
First of all, it looks. The Yamazaki version of Ritz is more browned, and the Mondelez version is fair-skinned.
As for the taste, the Mondelez version was refreshing and had a slightly firm impression, while the Yamazaki version was rich and had a good mouthfeel.
If it's just the taste, the cracker "Luvin" released by Yamazaki Nabisco Kai Yamazaki Biscuits looks just like the Yamazaki version of Ritz.
Even though the packages were similar, the products had a very different impression. I was surprised.
◆ In the case of Oreo
Next is Oreo. The logo is the same, but the item description below it has changed from "Cream Sandwich Cookie" to "Vanilla Cream". Also, in the Mondelez version, the word "Original" is on the logo.
On the back, the recipe and how to eat are written on the old product, and the same as the front on the new product. Also, the side is almost the same as the case of Ritz, but the new product is "TWIST, LICK, DUNK".
When you compare the tastes, the taste is quite different. The old product has a light texture of cookies, so that it spills. If it is a new product, it is firmly solidified.
The most different thing is the "saltyness". The old product has a perfect balance of saltiness and sweetness of cream. The sweetness of the new product is more impressive than that.
There is no savior with a familiar taste like Levin in Ritz, so if you like Oreo so much, you may want to stock up on it. … It ’s just now.
◆ For premium
Actually, the author, crackers, are more premium than Ritz.
If you compare this as well, it seems that there is no big change in the design, although the box has changed to an aluminum pack.
But take a closer look.
Yes, it is a "W size" with two squares connected ...! The "unusual! Feeling" is amazing. I liked the convenience of the Yamazaki version of Premium, which allows you to take out a bag quickly.
When I try to eat it, the texture is quite different. The Yamazaki version is lighter and has a lot of bubbles, so it looks like a pie. Moreover, the "butter feeling" is firm. On the other hand, the Mondelez version is tightly packed and is less likely to spill than the Yamazaki version.
The country of origin (factory) was China for Oreo and Indonesia for Ritz, while Italy was the premium. Somehow convinced.
In addition, the Mondelez version, I crack it in the middle and eat it, but it does not work unexpectedly. If you hold it right next to the perforation and break it, you will succeed with a high probability.
◆ Say something
After all it is lonely. Since the Yamazaki version has been around for more than 45 years, many readers of En-eating will have become accustomed to these tastes since childhood. After all, it's lonely.
Thank you, Yamazaki Nabisco, for a long time. And it was cheers for good work.
