This is the Koikeya Sucorn Zeppin Yaki Tōmorokoshi. These were extruded corn snacks seasoned to resemble the flavour of grilled corn on the cob typically seasoned with soy sauce and butter.
The extruded corn snacks had a pale yellow hue, coated in a white seasoning, and emitted a rich aroma of savoury grilled corn.
Upon tasting, the snacks provided a satisfying crunch, revealing a light and crispy interior. The initial bite did not offer immediate flavour, but as the seasoning dissolved on the palate, a rich combination of savoury soy sauce emerged, accompanied by a distinct smoky grilled quality. This was followed by a mellow, savoury buttery finish. The corn flavour came exclusively from the extruded corn snack itself. Overall, these corn snacks were worth repurchasing due to their predominantly savoury taste without being overwhelmingly buttery or overreliant on sweetness.
