Calbee “Zekpin” Series Akō Roasted Salt Anchovy Garlic Shrimp Chips
[Limited Edition] Calbee “Zekpin” Series – Akō Roasted Salt Anchovy Garlic Shrimp Chips
A bold, indulgent flavor designed for snacking with drinks, featuring a rich combination of:
Savory seafood umami × garlic aroma × light oil richness × deep flavor intensity
Stronger, richer, and more complex than standard shrimp chips — closer to a bar snack than a casual snack.
Developed for Pairing
This flavor was specifically created to pair with Kinmugi beer, with input from a professional brewer involved in the seasoning development.
