I tried 'Ultra Potato Super Consomme Flavor,' which allows you to enjoy the flavor of consomme with thick rice flour chips

Kameda Seika's ' Ultra Potato Super Consomme Flavor ,' made by combining rice flour and potatoes, will be released exclusively at 7-Eleven from Monday, October 28, 2024. It is a new type of potato snack that is large, thick, and has a rich taste, so I tried eating it to see what it tastes like.

The new Ultra Potato flavor is 'potato chips' and the thickness and texture is 'rice cracker'

The packaging for 'Ultra Potato Super Consomme Flavor' is based on gold and red.

The ingredients are rice flour (non-glutinous rice), vegetable oil, potato powder, consomme flavored seasoning (sugar, glucose, salt, meat extract seasoning, onion powder, protein hydrolysate, powdered soy sauce, spices, etc.), sugar, salt, vegetable bouillon powder, protein hydrolysate, etc.

The calories per bag (39g) are 203kcal.

When you put the contents on a plate, it looks like this.

Looking at the side, you can see that they are indeed much thicker than regular potato chips. However, they are lighter than they look and don't feel as dense as regular potato chips.

When you actually try it, you can taste the punchy flavor of the consommé. The potato flavor is subdued, and perhaps due to the rice flour, you can feel the aftertaste of a rice snack.

The texture is more like a thin rice cracker than a potato chip, and when you look at a cross section, you can see tiny air bubbles in it, just like a rice cracker.

The suggested retail price of 'Ultra Potato Super Consomme Flavor' is 168 yen excluding tax, and pre-sales have started at 7-Eleven stores nationwide from Monday, October 28, 2024. It will be sold at other convenience stores from Monday, December 9, and at the time of writing, a set of 6 bags was also available for purchase on Amazon.co.jp.
