{"product_id":"glico-pretz-umami-salada","title":"Glico Pretz Umami Salada Salted Pretzel Sticks — 64g","description":"\u003cp\u003eThin, dry pretzel sticks, salted, with a savoury stock-like depth behind the salt. This is the green box: the standard Pretz, the one Japanese buyers pick when you ask them which flavour they'd choose. If you want the plain one to start with rather than a novelty flavour, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the pack: プリッツ＜旨サラダ＞ (purittsu, uma-salada). Note the name before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you're getting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\"Salada\" is the name of the seasoning\u003c\/strong\u003e: worth knowing before it arrives. In Japanese confectionery, \u003cem\u003esalada\u003c\/em\u003e is a trade term for salad \u003cem\u003eoil\u003c\/em\u003e plus salt, and that is what is on the stick. There is no salad in it, and Japanese shoppers have been asking why it's called that since at least 2011.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it tastes of\u003c\/strong\u003e: salt first, then something rounder underneath; the \"umami\" in the name is that savoury depth. The seasoning is built on a savoury bouillon, and people notice that depth without being told it's there. The salt is what people single out, and usually as \u003cem\u003ewell judged\u003c\/em\u003e rather than strong. It does come off on your fingers a little, and opinion is genuinely split on whether that's a problem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTexture\u003c\/strong\u003e: a light, dry snap. Thin enough to break cleanly rather than crunch hard, and it clears the mouth quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt doesn't melt\u003c\/strong\u003e: no chocolate on it. That's a genuine difference from Pocky if you're ordering through an Australian summer, and Japanese buyers bring it up as a reason to take it out with them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo sealed packs inside the box\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32 g each. One is a snack; the seal is what keeps the second one for tomorrow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens\u003c\/strong\u003e: contains milk and wheat. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to know before you order. This is not Pocky and there's no chocolate on it, same company, same stick, and one buyer who traded down from Pocky to save money said plainly that it didn't satisfy without the coating, which is fair enough. And this is the current standard box, not an old recipe sitting in a warehouse, but long-time buyers say the seasoning has been dialled back over the years, so if you remember it as saltier and more intense, several people agree with you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glico","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48269704429794,"sku":"SH-SNK-0018","price":3.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/1312\/5858\/files\/glico-pretz-umami-salada-front-of-pack.webp?v=1787971902","url":"https:\/\/shintop.com.au\/products\/glico-pretz-umami-salada","provider":"Shintop Trading Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
