Calbee Kataage Potato Chips Yuzu Kosho Flavor – 2026 Seasonal Return

Calbee Kataage Potato Chips – Yuzu Kosho Flavor (2026 Seasonal Return)

It's BACK! One of Japan's most sought-after seasonal potato chip flavors has returned! 

Missed it last year? Here's your chance!

Calbee's popular Kataage Potato Chips Yuzu Kosho Flavor (堅あげポテト 柚子こしょう味) has returned for autumn 2026, bringing back its irresistible combination of refreshing Japanese citrus, savory potato flavor, and a spicy kick.

First introduced in 2008, this seasonal favorite has earned a loyal following among Japanese snack lovers.

What Is Yuzu Kosho?

Yuzu Kosho (柚子こしょう) is a traditional Japanese condiment made with yuzu citrus peel, chili peppers, and salt.

Despite the word kosho sometimes being translated as pepper, this condiment isn't ordinary black pepper seasoning!

It delivers a distinctive combination of bright citrus aroma, salty umami, and lingering chili heat.

For this special edition, Calbee uses yuzu kosho made in Kyushu, Japan, combining the fragrant aroma of green yuzu with the spicy kick of green chili peppers.

What's Special About the 2026 Edition?

Calbee has turned up the heat!

This year's recipe retains the refreshing green-yuzu fragrance while enhancing the lingering spiciness of green chili peppers.

Combined with Kataage's signature thick-cut, extra-crunchy potato chips, it's an exciting balance of citrus freshness, savory richness, and satisfying heat.
