This is the Koikeya Sucorn Shifuku no Nōmitsu Goma. They consisted of extruded corn snacks flavoured with a seasoning powder of black sesame, golden sesame and sesame oil.
These extruded corn snacks were a yellow hue, dusted with a powdered seasoning in shades of black and brown. Their aroma was sweet and evocative of corn. Upon tasting, an initial, gentle sweetness graced the palate, followed swiftly by the emergence of sesame notes, bringing with them a deep and fragrant nuttiness. While retaining a subtle sweetness, the flavour eventually transformed into a rich, toasted savoriness, heightened by the presence of sesame oil. Notably, the corn snacks offered an extra crispiness compared to others in this series, thanks to the specks of sesame adorning their surface. These snacks were incredibly moreish, leaving us reaching for more.
