Koikeya Pride Potato Chips Do-Hamari Black Pepper

Two peppers season these potato chips, and they are the same plant treated differently.

Black pepper is the unripe berry dried with its skin on, which ferments as it dries and develops the sharp aromatic bite most people mean by pepper.

White pepper is the same berry ripened, soaked and stripped of its skin — milder in aroma but more directly hot, with an earthiness black pepper does not have.

Koikeya uses both, so the heat reaches you from two directions rather than one.

Do-hamari is colloquial Japanese for being completely hooked on something, and the chips are built on pepper being enough by itself.

Beyond the two peppers, the list runs to potato, oils, starch, sugars, salt, onion, soy sauce and yeast extract — nothing competing for attention.

Pride Potato is Koikeya’s premium range of potato chips, and the argument is the potato: 100% Japanese-grown and non-GMO, sliced and fried so the potato leads and the pepper sharpens rather than covers it.

Koikeya made Japan’s first domestically produced potato chips in 1962. 55 g to a bag.
