This is the Koikeya Sucorn Yamitsuki BBQ. They’re extruded corn-based snacks described as having the ‘taste of juicy beef & original sauce, can’t stop it, bbq flavour’.
These snacks bore the resemblance of standard extruded corn products, enveloped in a brown-red powdered seasoning that imparted a distinct meaty BBQ aroma. Upon consumption, the snack had a light and airy crunch, distinguishably less firm compared to Twisties. Its initial sweetness yielded to a profound savoury profile akin to a robust, garlic-infused barbecue sauce. The flavour of corn briefly dominated the taste upon each bite, gradually ceding ground to the emergence of succulent beef nuances, which lingered with an umami-rich meatiness. The inherent beef flavour, combined with the barbecue sauce attributes, coalesced harmoniously to yield a well-balanced amalgamation of savoury and sweet notes, culminating in a highly gratifying snacking experience.
