This is the Koikeya Sucorn Cho Very Good! Spice Curry. They consisted of extruded corn snacks flavoured with vegetable curry powdered seasoning.
The extruded corn snacks were a vibrant golden hue, coated in a powdered seasoning with shades of brown, green, and white. They had an intense aroma of spiced curry, reminiscent more of Indian curries than the sweeter Japanese variants.
Upon tasting, the snacks offered a satisfying crunch, giving way to a light and crispy interior. Initially, there was a subtle sweetness followed by a rich savoury flavour, which deepened with umami richness from the generously spiced seasoning, which prominently featured coriander and turmeric. As the bite progressed, a robust heat emerged, intensifying into the finish without overpowering the underlying flavours, reaching a pleasantly spicy threshold just below discomfort. Overall, these crunchy snacks provided a bold curry flavour accompanied by an impressive spicy kick, offering a deeply satisfying experience.
