Not horse chips It should have occured to me earlier but somebody pointed out to me the "uma" in "Uma Shio Ramen" is not Uma as in Horse it's uma as in Umai (delicious) Still, they do eat horse here so it was not hard to believe. posted by greggmanOctober 3, 2001 at 10:32 [ e ]

I thought I was the only one... I thought I was the only non-Japanese who loved Japanese potato chips.  All of my friends gag even when I mention the flavors.  Anyway, when I went back to Tokyo for a visit this past March I did my best to search out the new flavors.  My favorite was definitely the takoyaki mayonnaise puffs.  Actually, all of the ones with mayo were great. Thanks for your GREAT website.  All of your topics are so interesting.  I feel like you're reading my mind and writing about what interests me.  Keep it up! posted by ChipJuly 24, 2004 at 16:08 [ e ]

Corn "portage"?! This isn't that important (I'm just being picky), but I believe in the first example "potaaju" is supposed to represent the French word "potage", meaning a chowder or soup. posted by DiellAugust 6, 2004 at 3:10 [ e ]

thanks since I don't know French I didn't know the word but I assumed it was something like that. posted by greggmanAugust 8, 2004 at 0:13 [ e ]

some others... There is no "BBQ" flavor of potato chips here, it's instead called コンソメ(konsome, like as in "beef consomme"). "Karl" is one of the most famous snack characters - check out the official page at <http://open.meiji.co.jp/sw eets/snack/karl/index2.html> I'm pretty sure the "Doza" on the bag is a stylized "Piza".  And of course "Don Takosu" is the same honorific as "Don Quixote". I'll have to look for that ninniku ramen flavor - that does sound good! posted by RickAugust 9, 2004 at 8:58 [ e ]

BBQ flavor There are plenty of BBQ flavor in my area.  Consumme is soup broth flavored, not quite the same.  This summer they have Ume flavored.  Those ROCK! posted by greggmanAugust 9, 2004 at 23:01 [ e ]

2 corrections Dos Tacos should be Don Tacos. It's pretty close. Also Doza Poteto should be Pizza Poteto. "pi" in katakana looks like hiragana "to". So how was that "nankotsu aji"? Must be like yakitori, isn't it? posted by dakineinLAOctober 28, 2005 at 0:01 [ e ]

Where can I get them? I'd really like to try consomme-flavored chips, but I can't exactly afford to go to Japan to get them. Is there any place at all in the United States (esp. in California) that I could go to to buy them, or order online somewhere? posted by RivenLietherSeptember 4, 2007 at 13:15 [ e ]

Oop, nevermind, I found some consomme-flavored potato chips in a grocery store in Japantown, San Francisco. Woot! posted by RivenLietherOctober 5, 2007 at 22:58 [ e ]
