Unearth the Power of Nature: Calbee Potato Chips Consommé Punch Review

Calbee’s “Consommé Punch” potato chips have been a beloved long-time favorite in Japan since their debut in 1978. This time, they’re available in a special collaboration package featuring Pokémon! The packaging is adorned with Pokémon characters, and the “o” in “Consommé Punch” is replaced with a Poké Ball, adding a cute and collectible touch for fans. This unique packaging makes the flavor even more special.

A Classic Japanese Flavor: Consommé Punch

When it comes to potato chips in Japan, two iconic flavors stand out: lightly salted and Consommé Punch. This flavor isn’t just any consommé; it’s made with Calbee’s unique “Punch Powder” and a rich two-step consommé broth, bringing out a depth of flavor that keeps you coming back. It’s become a new standard in consommé-flavored snacks.

What Is Punch Powder?

“Punch Powder” is Calbee’s original spice mix, crafted from a blend of select spices. This powder enhances the consommé flavor with layers of depth and a distinctive punch. This extra touch gives Consommé Punch its irresistible, impactful flavor and makes it stand out among other snacks.

Perfect Balance of Taste and Texture

Consommé Punch chips are thin and crisp, with a light, satisfying texture. While they don’t have the firm crunch of hard-baked chips like “Kat-Age” (Firm-Baked) chips, their airy, crispy bite makes it hard to stop at just one. They’re perfect as a snack, but they also make a great treat for adults and are ideal for sharing with family and friends.

 

Bringing Back Childhood Memories

The first time I tasted Consommé Punch was in elementary school while playing Nintendo 64 games with friends. Every time I pick up a bag, those memories come rushing back. It’s a flavor many people have grown up with, and the familiarity and comfort of it make it feel timeless. As others have said, “Once you try it, you’re hooked,” and “It’s just as delicious as I remember.” 

A Unique Japanese Flavor – Great for Souvenirs

This flavor may not be available abroad, making it a unique option to bring back as a souvenir for friends visiting Japan or anyone interested in Japanese snacks. I also plan to include Consommé Punch in the snack boxes I’m preparing for my “Oyatsu Club” subscription service to introduce this beloved taste to people around the world.

Calbee Potato Chips Consommé Punch has all the reasons for its enduring popularity – a taste that everyone can enjoy. It’s the perfect choice for a uniquely Japanese snack experience, so if you get the chance, give it a try!
