Calbee Potato Chips – Wakayama Grape Sansho Pepper Flavor

Discover Japan's Aromatic Green Diamond! Not grapes. Not your ordinary black pepper. Something uniquely Japanese!

Calbee brings the distinctive flavor of Wakayama Prefecture's prized Budō Sanshō (ぶどう山椒) to its iconic Japanese potato chips!

Grape sansho is a special variety of Japanese pepper, celebrated for its refreshing, citrus-like aroma and delightful tingling sensation. Its green peppercorns grow in clusters resembling grapes, which explains its unusual name.

And no, these potato chips don't taste like grapes!

What Makes Them Special?

• Authentic Wakayama Flavor: Seasoned with grape sansho pepper grown in Japan's Wakayama Prefecture.

• Citrusy, Aromatic Kick: A refreshing pepper fragrance with a distinctive tingling finish.

• A Different Kind of Spice: More aromatic than fiery, offering an exciting alternative to traditional hot and spicy chips.

• Classic Calbee Crunch: Crispy Japanese potato chips paired with a uniquely regional seasoning.

• Limited-Quantity Release: A special Japanese flavor that's not part of Calbee's everyday lineup.

What Exactly Is Grape Sansho?

Known in Japan as Budō Sanshō, this prized pepper variety is sometimes nicknamed the Green Diamond because of its distinctive appearance and reputation as a premium Japanese spice.

It's commonly associated with traditional Japanese cooking, especially grilled eel and specialty seasonings.

Unlike ordinary black pepper, sansho offers an aromatic, citrusy flavor accompanied by a gentle mouth-tingling sensation.

Calbee transforms this traditional Japanese ingredient into a modern snack that's both familiar and unexpectedly different.
