What is Jagarico?
Jagarico was first introduced in 1995 and has since become one of Japan’s most beloved snacks. Its signature feature is its unique texture—crispy at first, then pleasantly crunchy. This texture is a result of innovative Japanese snack-making techniques, making it a uniquely enjoyable experience.
The distinct texture was brilliantly showcased in the original TV commercials during Jagarico’s debut. These commercials humorously conveyed the “crunch” sound and feel, leaving a lasting impression on viewers. This creative advertising helped cement Jagarico’s place as a unique and memorable snack.

The Buttered Potato flavor we’re introducing today is made with premium Hokkaido butter. The rich, creamy butter flavor perfectly complements the natural taste of potatoes, while a hint of salt adds the finishing touch. It’s like savoring real buttered potatoes in every bite!
A Hidden Touch of Fun: The Barcode
Jagarico packaging is known for its playful and creative touches, and one of its highlights is the barcode. On each package, the barcode design features fun and quirky illustrations that reflect the flavor or the theme of the product. For the Buttered Potato flavor, this barcode is themed as the “Luxurious Dilemma Edition” (“Zettaku-na Nayami-hen”), adding a delightful surprise for snack lovers. These charming details are part of what makes Jagarico more than just a snack—it’s an experience!
Fun Ways to Enjoy Jagarico
While Jagarico is delicious straight out of the cup, it’s also versatile enough for simple and fun recipes. One standout recipe that became a huge trend in Japan a few years ago is “Jagaarigo.”
