I tried the potato chips 'Niche Rich Truffle and Prosciutto / Sea Urchin and Squid Formaggi' which have a strong aroma that makes you choke
The new ' Niche Rich Truffle and Prosciutto ' and ' Niche Rich Sea Urchin and Squid Formaggi ' have been added to the 'Niche Rich' series of Koikeya's creative potato chips and will be available at convenience stores from Monday, December 23, 2024, so I tried them right away.
A creative potato chip that is known only to those in the know and allows you to enjoy a blissful combination of foods, now available again this year in new flavors: 'Niche Rich Truffle and Prosciutto / Sea Urchin and Squid Formaggi' - A social media campaign is also being held to win a set of two items -
The packages for 'Niche Rich Truffle and Prosciutto' and 'Niche Rich Sea Urchin and Squid Formaggi' look like this.
The front of the bag reads, 'Crispy, firm fried potatoes combined with the delicious flavor and aroma of special ingredients, and other ingredients that bring out the best in them... Enjoy the marriage that spreads in your mouth the more you chew.'
The raw material names are as follows. In addition to the 'Truffle Extract Chip', you can see that 'truffle' itself is also used. There seems to be no prosciutto.
One bag weighs 70g and contains 367kcal.
From the moment you open the bag, a strong 'fragrant aroma' spreads all around. At first, it was not clear what the smell was, but when you pick up a potato chip and eat it, the moment you put it in your mouth, a 'faintly fragrant smell' spreads throughout your mouth and passes through your nose. Since I knew the name 'truffles and prosciutto' while eating, I thought 'Is that the smell of truffles?', but since I don't have much experience eating truffles, I couldn't really check whether this was what truffles smelled like. In addition, the taste seems to be 'meat-like,' but an editorial staff member who ate it without knowing commented, 'It has a strong taste, but I don't know what it is specifically.' However, there is no doubt that it is a seasoning that goes well with alcohol.
Next up is 'Sea Urchin and Squid Formaggi.'
The names of the ingredients are as follows. 'Fish sauce powder,' 'Seafood extract powder,' 'Sea urchin flavor seasoning,' 'Anchovy powder,' 'Sea urchin powder,' and 'Crab shell powder.' Just by looking at the names, it seems to have a seafood taste.
One bag weighs 70g and contains 365kcal.
This one looks redder. Also, when I opened the bag, it smelled like cheese and even sweet, but then it started to smell like it contained multiple types of seafood. When I ate it, it had a strange taste, like pizza-flavored chips without the strong cheese flavor. It had a soft, mellow sweetness that made me wonder if it was the combination of sea urchin and cheese, but I couldn't quite taste the squid.
'Niche Rich Truffle and Prosciutto' and 'Niche Rich Sea Urchin and Squid Formaggi' will be available at convenience stores on Monday, December 23, 2024, and at supermarkets on Monday, January 27, 2025. The price is open, and it is generally sold for about 235 yen excluding tax.
