Glico Cho Karikari Pretz Pretzel Sticks Japanese Dashi Scallop Soy Sauce

Cho Karikari Pretz — “super crunchy Pretz” — is the format that takes the standard Pretz pretzel stick and recalibrates it entirely for texture.

Where standard Pretz is crisp and clean, Cho Karikari is harder, denser, and produces a more pronounced and sustained crunch that Glico describes as addictive — the kind that makes you reach for the next stick before the first one has finished.

The dough formulation and baking process are distinct from the regular lineup, producing a stick that resists rather than yielding immediately.

The Japanese Dashi Scallop Soy Sauce flavor is the more delicate of the two Cho Karikari varieties, built on a combination that is specifically Japanese in its reference points.

Hotate (scallop) seasoning provides a sweet, mild oceanic umami — the particular seafood character of scallop that is softer and more fragrant than shrimp or bonito, and that releases as a warmth rather than an immediate hit.

Kombu extract powder adds the slower, deeper umami of kelp — the backbone of Japanese dashi — while dashi powder rounds the profile with the layered complexity of a proper Japanese stock.

A touch of red chili adds a background warmth that is present but not aggressive.

The stick is positioned as otsumami — a drinking snack — and the rakutabe pocket on the packaging allows the box to be propped open for continuous eating without spilling.

Inulin (chicory-derived dietary fiber) is worked into the dough, adding 1.6g of dietary fiber per bag without changing the flavor.

55g per box, split into two 27.5g bags.
