There are four types to be released this time: "Calbee Light! Potato Chips Light Taste", "Same Potato Chips Consome Punch", "Same Kappa Ebisen", and "Same Sayaendo".

Therefore, prior to the release, the En-eating editorial department tried to compare the taste of "Calbee Light! Potato Chips Light Taste" and "Kappa Ebisen" with the conventional products to see the difference in taste.

◆ Potato chips Light taste → Strong chewy

Calbee Light potato chips feel a little thicker than usual potato chips. It has a strong crunchy texture at the moment of chewing and has a chewy texture.

The strength of saltiness is almost the same. I feel that Calbee Light is a little less salty, but I don't really care.

◆ Kappa Ebisen → Same

I ate and compared Calbee Light with the usual Kappa Ebisen, but the taste and texture did not change so much that it was exactly the same.

It tastes and looks the same so you don't know which one you're eating. I was worried that the junky taste would be reduced by the amount of oil cut, but it ended up in a misery.

It seems that the working moms of Chimata will finally start their "own time" around 22:00. It seems that many women sneak a snack while watching a recorded drama or surfing the internet after putting their child to sleep and soaking in a blissful moment.

In such a case, "Calbee Light!", Which has a good taste and satisfaction, will be useful. Since it contains less oil and calories, you can enjoy "adult snack time" without feeling guilty even if you eat it late at night.
