Calbee Jaga Pokkuru is a popular snack produced by Calbee, one of Japan’s leading snack manufacturers. Manufactured at their Chitose factory in Hokkaido and primarily sold locally, it's become a beloved souvenir from Hokkaido. The name "Jaga Pokkuru" combines "jagaimo" (potato) with "Korpokkur," legendary fairy-like beings from Ainu folklore.

The snack is made exclusively from 100% Hokkaido-grown potatoes. They are cut whole, including the skin, to preserve the natural savory flavors and crisp texture through Calbee’s unique production methods. This approach enhances the authentic taste and crunchiness of the potatoes.

The "Okhotsk Sea Salt" flavor notably uses salt sourced predominantly (95%) from Lake Saroma, a brackish lake along the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk. This salt, obtained by slowly boiling lake water, imparts a smooth and mild flavor. The result is a snack packed full of Hokkaido's natural bounty.

    On my way home, I bought scallop-flavored Jaga Pokkuru at the duty-free shop in Narita Airport, and the flavor was such a pleasant surprise! They retain the signature crunchy texture, while every bite is packed with the savory taste of Hokkaido scallops. The salty seafood flavor has a touch of sweetness, making them impossible to stop eating. Compared with the original, they have an extra layer of seafood flavor and pair perfectly with a drink.

    If you love seafood or want to try a limited-edition flavor, I highly recommend bringing home a few boxes. They’re great for gifts or enjoying yourself!

    Calbee+ is a popular snack specialty shop in Japan. The freshly fried fries are crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, and they come in a variety of well-loved flavors.

    They also sell limited-edition potato chips, Jaga Pokkuru, and other items. The sakura shrimp–flavored fries are super tasty. It’s a must-visit spot for snacks and souvenirs when traveling in Japan.

    A must-buy souvenir from Japan. Jaga Pokkuru really lives up to its reputation! Made with 100% Hokkaido potatoes and cut with the skin on, you can taste the natural sweetness of the potatoes. They’re crispy on the outside, fragrant inside, and seriously addictive. With sea salt from the Sea of Okhotsk, the salty-savory balance is just right. Every bite makes it hard to stop. I’ve been eating this snack for years and still love it. Adults and kids all enjoy it, and every time I go to Japan, I always bring several boxes home. Highly recommended for gifts or for yourself!

    I found the Hokkaido Butter Fries, a duty-free exclusive flavor, at New Chitose Airport.

    I’ve always loved their products. No matter the flavor, they’re hard to put down, and I just keep reaching for more. The small individual packs are especially convenient to take on the go and don’t take up much space.
