This is the YBC Chip Star Premium Ebi Yuzu Koshō, featuring potato crisps kneaeded with shrimp powder and seasoned with yuzu koshō.

The chips had an orange hue, dusted with fine seasoning in shades of white and brown, and a rich shrimp aroma upon opening. On tasting, the crisps had a satisfying crunch, slightly thicker and denser due to the shrimp powder being embedded into the potato mix. Allowing the chip to rest on the tongue for a few moments revealed fragrant floral notes of yuzu, with a subtle sharpness (without heat) from the koshō, adding a lively contrast. Mid-bite, a savoury shrimp umami flavour developed and lingered in the aftertaste.

Overall, these chips delivered a rich shrimp flavour, perfectly complemented by the elegant balance of yuzu and koshō, making them a delicious snack well worth repurchasing.
