{"product_id":"calbee-kataage-potato-chips-grilled-nori","title":"Calbee Kataage Potato Chips Grilled Nori Seaweed 65g","description":"\u003cp\u003eA thick, hard-fried potato crisp with toasted nori seaweed: loud to eat, and saltier than most crisps you know. Buy it if you want a crisp you can hear yourself eating and a real toasted-seaweed flavour; if you want the thin, light seaweed-salt chips Calbee also makes, this is the wrong bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e堅あげポテト 焼きのり味 (\u003cem\u003ekata-age poteto, yaki-nori aji\u003c\/em\u003e). Those are the characters to match against the bag when it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you're getting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe potato is sliced thick and fried slowly in a single kettle, so a crisp breaks with a hard crack instead of a light snap. \"Kataage\" means hard-fried, and that slow kettle fry is how they get there.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen the bag and you get a sea-shore smell first. The leading note is toasted sheet nori, the kind wrapped around sushi, rather than the green-laver salt of Calbee's other seaweed chips, though there is aonori (green laver) in the seasoning too.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is red chilli in the seasoning. Most reviewers never mention it, though a few find the heat assertive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is properly salty, more so than the lightly-salted bag in the same range. The nori is gentler than the pack's artwork suggests, so if you want a strong seaweed hit, this is not it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContains: sesame, soy, mollusc (oyster).\u003c\/strong\u003e Our list is wider than the Japanese pack's allergen chart: Japan's scheme has no general mollusc category, so the oyster powder appears in the ingredient list instead of the allergen box. Read that ingredient list before you rely on ours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlso worth knowing\u003c\/strong\u003e: the seasoning's hydrolysed protein is made with chicken and pork as well as soy, so there is meat in it, pork included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThese are hard enough that Calbee prints its own warning to chew carefully so you do not hurt the inside of your mouth, and puts the bag at about four years and up.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two other things before you buy: there is oyster powder in the seasoning, which a potato crisp gives you no reason to expect, and the bag is a Japanese-market pack, so the flavour name on the front is written only in Japanese. Some Japanese buyers open it to go with a drink, though plenty eat it as an ordinary snack.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Calbee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48454660292834,"sku":"SH-SNK-0078","price":4.67,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/1312\/5858\/files\/calbee-kataage-potato-grilled-nori-65g-bag.webp?v=1792027491","url":"https:\/\/shintop.com.au\/products\/calbee-kataage-potato-chips-grilled-nori","provider":"Shintop Trading Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
