This is the Koikeya Pure Potato Atsugiri no Zeitaku Five Star Spice Consommé, crafted to emulate the flavour of a consommé made with “slow-boiled chicken, beef, vegetables, and 10 spices.”

The chips were thick-cut, approximately 1–1.5 mm in thickness, and dusted with a seasoning powder in orange and brown hues. They carried a rich aroma reminiscent of bolognese sauce.

On tasting, the chips delivered a satisfying crunch due to their thicker cut. An initial rounded savoury flavour emerged, followed by a robust potato presence. Midway through each bite, the bolognese-like aroma evolved into a bold and complex consommé flavour. The deep umami notes from the chicken and beef were balanced by subtle sweetness from the vegetables, while the blend of spices added a rich complexity. Together, these elements enhanced the potato’s natural flavour, making the chips irresistibly moreish.

These chips captured the umami depth and layered flavours of slow-boiled chicken, beef, and vegetables, with onion notes and a touch of salt elevating the potato’s inherent deliciousness.
