Bourbon Komeno Chips Rice Chips Consomme

The Consomme version of Komeno Chips is the one built around depth rather than heat.

Where the Black Pepper flavor is built on a single prominent seasoning that arrives with fragrance and warmth, the Consomme is assembled from a longer list of quieter elements working together: onion powder, sweet corn powder, multiple spices, soy sauce powder, roasted soy sauce seasoning, and yeast extract powder, layered in a way that produces the rounded, savory warmth associated with consomme without any single ingredient announcing itself distinctly.

The roasted soy sauce seasoning is the element Bourbon describes as the hidden flavor — “kakushi aji” — that gives the consomme its depth.

Roasted soy sauce has a more complex, slightly caramelized character than standard soy sauce, with less of the sharp fermented edge and more of the warm, brown note that comes from heat exposure.

Applied alongside sweet corn powder and yeast extract, it produces an umami base that is substantial without being heavy, and complex enough that reviewers frequently note they can’t identify exactly what they’re tasting — which is the quality that makes a consomme seasoning work.

The rice chip base is identical to the Black Pepper version: uruchimai flour and corn grits, non-fried, slowly baked to the same sharp, dry crunch.

At 119 kcal per 30g bag and 1.5g of fat, it is one of the lower-fat snacks in the otsumami category.

Allergen profile is simpler than the Black Pepper version — wheat and soy only, with no chicken — which makes it the more broadly accessible of the two for people managing allergens.
