This is the Glico Pretz Chou Kari Kari Scallop & Soy Sauce. It was part of the ‘extra crispy’ series and seasoned with a Japanese-style dashi featuring scallop and soy sauce, designed to cater to the adult palate.

Each package contained two silver and beige bags.

Each bag contained 50 sticks, each about a quarter of the slimness of standard Pretz and lightly coated with a pale beige seasoning.

These Pretz sticks had a robust, sea-inspired aroma. Upon tasting, the rich sea flavour of the scallops took center stage at the beginning of each bite. As the bite progressed, the savory essence of soy sauce and kombu emerged, delivering a profound umami experience. The thinner Pretz format added a crisper crunch to each bite, enhancing the overall satisfaction with the complex umami flavour, making them more enjoyable than the original format.

This Glico Pretz Chou Kari Kari Scallop & Soy Sauce contained 56 g. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Tōkyō, Japan in 2023.
