Calbee Crisp Potato Chips Umami Ume Hoshi

Crisp Ume Hoshi is a boldly Japanese, irresistibly snackable stackable chip from Calbee, one of Japan’s leading snack makers. With a satisfying zaku-zaku crunch and a flavor profile unlike anything in the Western snack aisle, this is a must-try for any lover of Japanese food culture.

The Ume Hoshi seasoning captures the iconic taste of umeboshi — Japan’s beloved salted dried plum — with a bright, tangy-sweet acidity sharpened by a clean hit of salt. The sourness of the plum powder is beautifully balanced by subtle umami from katsuobushi (bonito flakes) extract, adding a savory depth that makes the flavor surprisingly complex and completely addictive.

Unlike regular potato chips, Calbee Crisp is made from mashed potato, which gives each chip a uniform shape, a lighter texture, and an exceptionally crisp snap in every bite — perfect for sharing straight from the tube.

Ume (plum) flavors hold a special place in Japanese snack culture, beloved for their refreshing tartness and clean finish. This chip delivers that quintessentially Japanese taste in one of the most satisfying snack formats around.
