Know the difficulty of seasoning commercial snacks with `` Shaka Shaka curl '' where you apply your favorite powder to unseasoned curls

Since the summer of 2017, the Meiji snack ' Karl ', which has been

developed only in western Japan , has a new curl that you can season yourself, ' Shakashaka curl '. Saw.

Although it is not listed in the product information on the official website, it seems that 'Shaka Shaka Curl' has appeared since the end of July 2023. The package looks like this.

'It's an unseasoned curl,' he said.

Uncle Carl invites you to 'season with powder seasoning!'

The raw material looks like this. It does contain sugar and salt.

225kcal per 45g bag. It doesn't seem to be a healthy snack just because it has no taste.

'Let's use the powder seasoning at home and shake it!'

First of all, I tried plain 'Shaka Shaka Carl'. Although it has a faint oiliness like fried sweets and a faint corn-likeness, it has a lack of taste that is officially called 'unseasoned'.

This time, I will use curry powder and potage soup for seasoning.

First, add about 5g of curry powder and shake.

Not mixed at all...

I tried to eat it after doing chasing powder and shaking it. While the salty taste is weak, the spiciness of the spice comes to the fore, completing a curry-flavored snack that has never been eaten before.

I put a whole bag of potage soup.

It's a mixture of saltiness and sweetness, and it feels like a potage taste, but if anything, the sweetness comes out in front, and as a snack, you want a little more saltiness.

It was the creation of 'Shaka Shaka Curl' to realize how the seasoning of commercially available snacks is considered. It might be interesting to experiment with various directions of flavoring that are not often used in commercial snacks.

'Shaka Shaka Curl' is 129 yen per bag, excluding tax, and is sold only in western Japan. This time I bought it at Hankyu Oasis, but I couldn't find it at another store or other convenience store, so it may be that the stores that sell it are narrowed down to some extent.
