A spicy snack that satisfies even maniacs: 'Super spicy mania spicy sea food' and 'Sour mania Zukkyun!! The impact of plums' that is surprisingly easy to eat and goes well with rice. Tasting review
The super spicy snack ' Super spicy mania spicy seaweed' which is made with two types of chili peppers and the umami of seafood to create a seafood chige style will be released on Monday, February 3, 2025. In addition, ' Sour Mania Zukkyun! Plum Impact ', which combines the sourness of plums with the umami of bonito flakes and kelp, will also be released on Monday, January 13, 2025. Both snacks, which stand out for their spiciness and sourness, arrived at the GIGAZINE editorial department ahead of their release, so I tried to see what they actually tasted like.
Japan Frito-Lay Co., Ltd.
The package for 'Super Spicy Mania Spicy Seaweed' looks like this. A warning about the spiciness is written at the bottom of the product name.
There is also a warning on the back of the package that it is extremely spicy. It says that if you eat 'Super Spicy Mania Spicy Sea Food' and then touch your eyes with your hands, you may be in big trouble.
The product is called a snack food, and its ingredients include spicy ingredients such as habanero powder and red chili pepper powder, as well as many other ingredients with strong umami flavors, such as garlic powder, pork extract powder, scallop extract powder, clam extract powder, shrimp extract powder, squid extract powder, and octopus powder.
The calories are 276kcal per bag.
I tried to empty everything out of the bag.
The surface is red and you can see red chili powder.
When you eat it, you can taste the sweetness of the corn snack only when you put it in your mouth, and the next moment you are hit with an intense spiciness. It is characterized by a base of seafood umami and a long-lasting spiciness. Eventually the umami disappears and only the spiciness remains in your mouth. It is so spicy that it hurts your tongue, and an editor who does not like spicy food gave up after one stick. On the other hand, an editor who is a fan of super spicy food left the impression that 'It's interesting that it's only sweet for the moment you put it in your mouth. I want to enjoy the sweetness and the intense spiciness alternately, so I keep eating one stick after another. It feels good to sweat profusely as I keep eating it.'
Next, I will try 'Sour Mania Zukkyun!! Plum Shock'.
'It may be too strong for those who don't like sour flavors.'
Ingredients include plum powder, chicken powder, kelp extract powder, bonito flakes, and kelp powder.
The calories are 273kcal per bag.
When you take out all the contents it looks like this.
The surface is pale yellow and covered with plenty of pink plum powder.
Each 'Sour Mania Zukkyun!! Ume no Shoku' has a strong sour taste like pickled plums, and the taste makes your saliva flow. 'Super Spicy Mania Spicy Sea Food' is a flavor that can only be recommended to people who like spicy food, but 'Sour Mania Zukkyun!! Ume no Shoku' is easy to eat despite its sourness, due to the strong umami base. Some of the editorial staff who tried it said, 'Even though it's a snack, it makes you want a staple food.'
The packages of 'Super Spicy Mania Spicy Sea Food' and 'Sour Mania Zukkyun!! Plum Shock' feature a heart mark split in half, and when the two packages are put together they form a complete heart.
'Super Spicy Mania Spicy Sea Food' is scheduled to be released on Monday, February 3, 2025. In addition, 'Sour Mania Zukkyun!! Plum Shock' will be released in advance at convenience stores on Monday, January 13, 2025, and will be available outside convenience stores from Monday, February 10, 2025. Both prices are opening prices, and the estimated price is 165 yen including tax.
