    Whenever I'm browsing around an airport duty-free shop, I can't help grabbing a box of Jaga Pokkuru. The quality of the Hokkaido potatoes is truly excellent. As soon as you tear open the package, the simple, salty aroma of potatoes immediately comes out.

    What appeals to me most is that you can always find different limited-edition varieties in different places. On this trip to Okinawa, I specifically looked for a local specialty potato snack to try. Although it was a little different from the classic original flavor, the crispy texture infused with local flavors was just as impressive. I couldn't stop eating them one after another.

    These limited-edition surprises that you can buy wherever you travel make souvenir shopping feel a little like collecting. They're great either as a snack during the trip or to bring home and share with friends. Whenever I eat them, I'm reminded of scenes from that trip. It's a simple but delicious snack that I always want to buy again.

    This is the scallop salt flavor, with an extra hint of seafood. I think it tastes even better than the regular version. It looks like this flavor is only available in Hokkaido, so if you come to Hokkaido, I definitely recommend buying some as souvenirs.

    When visiting Hokkaido, Calbee's Jaga Pokkuru definitely belongs on your souvenir list! Made at the Chitose factory in Hokkaido, these crispy potato sticks retain a rich potato flavor and are savory and addictive—you just can't stop eating them. They're also one of Hokkaido's most iconic and popular souvenirs, and it's easy to end up buying several boxes without even realizing it!

    When traveling in Hokkaido, besides enjoying the food and scenery, Jaga Pokkuru is also one of the souvenirs I think is really worth bringing home. They're delicious as a gift and even better as a snack for yourself. Add them straight to your Hokkaido must-buy list!

    Jaga Pokkuru and Imoko and Kobutaro
    are both snacks I absolutely love. I'm actually a huge potato fan!
    The fries are salty and crunchy, while the potato chunks are gone in about five bites. I like to suck on the last few pieces until they turn soft hahaha

    I used to love buying Jagabee fries at the supermarket. Honestly, I can't really tell what the difference is? (Whispering because Jagabee seems cheaper, though I later realized it isn't.)

    After I became somewhat financially independent, I started ordering Jaga Pokkuru online. All I can say is that it feels so good〜

    But I still wonder why the bags are so small? There are ten bags in a box, and I can eat half of them in one sitting... Sometimes I restrain myself and hide them away, only to discover they've expired.

    Jaga Pokkuru is one of Japan's classic souvenirs. At the airport, you can often see Taiwanese and Korean travelers putting box after box into their shopping baskets. It's very popular.
    The individually wrapped packs are very convenient. They're great for eating a little at a time yourself, and they're also just right for taking home to share with family and friends. The crispy texture and rich potato flavor make the classic original flavor something you never get tired of.

    If you're tired of the original flavor, I also highly recommend trying the scallop flavor! It has an extra touch of savory flavor from the sea, and its salty, savory taste makes it hard to stop eating. I personally like it a lot too.

    A must-buy souvenir from Japan. Jaga Pokkuru really lives up to its reputation! Made with 100% Hokkaido potatoes and cut with the skin on, you can taste the natural sweetness of the potatoes. They’re crispy on the outside, fragrant inside, and seriously addictive. With sea salt from the Sea of Okhotsk, the salty-savory balance is just right. Every bite makes it hard to stop. I’ve been eating this snack for years and still love it. Adults and kids all enjoy it, and every time I go to Japan, I always bring several boxes home. Highly recommended for gifts or for yourself!

    I found the Hokkaido Butter Fries, a duty-free exclusive flavor, at New Chitose Airport.

    I’ve always loved their products. No matter the flavor, they’re hard to put down, and I just keep reaching for more. The small individual packs are especially convenient to take on the go and don’t take up much space.
