Nori

6 07 2009

Here’s something I can guarantee you’ll never see in North America. Seaweed flavored Doritos! While seaweed flavored snacks are nothing rare in Japan, I’ve never seen it on a tortilla chip before. I have to say they were quite delicious.

When I first came to Japan and I couldn’t read anything, I tried Seaweed Potato Chips…I thought they were “Sour Cream and Onion”.
I was quite surprised when I tasted them for the first time!

When you see the picture on the bag they totally look like sour cream and onion. :)

Yeah, the bag in your photo shows a picture of のり seaweed…so even someone can’t read 「のり塩味」 (“Seaweed & Salt Taste”), they might be able to tell what it is.

But the chips I ate when I first came here looked like:

I didn’t like them then (because I was expecting Sour Cream & Onion), but I like 「のり塩味」 chips fine now.

Do you like them?

Those were the oones I was thinking of. It would be so easy to mistake them for sour cream and onion.

I do like nori chips. I pretty much like every kind of chip except for the consomme flavor and butter flavor. I’m not too fond of them.

Maybe I shouldn’t have passed them up when I was at the 99 yen shop.

I always find new products here.
I can’t imagine how it tastes, so I should get it.

I might. I’m not sure. Last year I was too busy working. I did see the tons of decorations though. As I posted here http://insendai.wordpress.com/2008/08/12/tanabata/
