Jaga pokkuru - Japanese snacks produced by Calbee

Jaga Pokkuru is a popular Japanese snack by Calbee known for its crispy texture and genuine potato flavor. It is made from Hokkaido-grown potatoes, thinly sliced, and fried to perfection. Introduced in 2002 as "Pure Jaga," it quickly became a sought-after product. The snack faced shortages due to high demand, leading to packaging changes. It is exclusively produced at Calbee Chitose factory in Hokkaido. Over the years, various flavors like "Salty Taste of Okhotsk" and "Scallop Salty" have been introduced. The production process involves cutting, frying, freezing, seasoning, and frying again before consumption. Jaga Pokkuru is a regional favorite in Hokkaido, with available purchase locations like supermarkets and convenience stores. This iconic snack symbolizes the rich potato culture of Hokkaido and is cherished for its taste and connection to the region.
