Calbee, the famous potato chip brand launched sales of a special line in collaboration with Hankyu Umeda Main Store in 2014. Perfect as an easy gift, each crisp delivers the high end-taste of 100% Hokkaido-grown potatoes, with a one-of-a-kind thick-cut texture.

The line includes two different varieties that are made differently so you can pick your favorite texture or deep, natural flavor. Potato Basic features a carefully fried taste with all the salty goodness you’d expect from a chip, while the Potato Roast focuses on creating an aromatic, roasted taste to finish. Each variety comes in 3 flavors, as well as a few limited bonus flavors that become available depending on the season.

Gift boxes are available in 4-pack, 6-pack and 8-pack assortment boxes. You can find these chips exclusively at the Hankyu Umeda Main Store or on the Hankyu Department Store official site.

    These potato chips are insanely expensive, with a reputation for being thick and super delicious, and they're only available at Hankyu in Osaka.

    As someone who loves potatoes, how could I pass them up? Even if my super stingy aunt nagged me, I was still going to buy them. She looked shocked when she saw the price, but I happily bought them anyway. Sorry, I still don't understand the hardships of life⋯

    But that aunt actually bought some too after seeing me buy them! Even her son was shocked, so funny.

    Unfortunately, I have an unsophisticated palate. All I could tell was that they were thick. As for everything else, I was just like, um⋯ yeah⋯ sorry.

    But I gave some to someone, and my friend said, “Yeah, they're thick,” and that was it. So funny.

    Looks like my friends and I all have unsophisticated palates〜

    They do have quite a few flavors, though, and the portions are pretty small.

    I think they're worth trying for the novelty!

    Found the photo in my pile of souvenirs, hehe.
