This is the Calbee Jagabee Butter Soy Sauce, a snack made by frying whole, natural-cut potatoes.

Each box contained sealed portions of 15 g and is illustrated with the brand’s mascot alongside a positive phrase, such as “ōenshiteru yo” or “itsumo arigatō.”

Each chip had a golden light brown hue, about 0.8 cm thick, with irregular lengths and visible potato skins on some chips. They had a savoury, buttery aroma. The chips had an intense, crispy texture, resembling a crunchy french fry. The butter in the seasoning created an initial coolness on the palate, with its flavour immediate, developing into rich, deeply savoury notes of soy sauce mid-bite. The variety of potato used contributed to a smooth texture in the finish. This combination vividly evoked the taste of a fluffy roast potato with melting butter and a drizzle of soy sauce. These delicious crispy potato chips are worth repurchasing.

This Calbee Jagabee Butter Soy Sauce contained 15 g x 5 packs. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2024.
