Summer is the season when spicy foods taste even better. While spicy ramen and curry might be the usual choices, this time, we’re focusing on snacks! Calbee’s popular “Pizza Potato” now comes in a limited-edition spicy flavor.

“Pizza Potato” with just the right amount of spiciness to become addictive
I opened the package and emptied the contents. It might be just the right amount for a single serving.
The potato chips are generously topped with melted cheese using the melt-flake process.
Even before tasting, you can smell the green chili aroma from the potato chips, which are perfectly seasoned! The thick-cut chips have a satisfying crunch, with the rich melted cheese, the refreshing spiciness of the green chili, and the robust meaty flavor combining to create an addictive taste.
As someone who loves the aroma and spiciness of green chilies, I might be a bit biased, but the Pizza Potato Spicy Sausage Flavor is genuinely addictive.
