Calbee Jaga Pokkuru Okhotsk Sea Salt taste
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.
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. -

Ogakiku
Since its establishment in the 4th year of the Bunka era (1807) during the late Edo period, this renowned store has been devoted exclusively to eel. Even after transitioning through six eras - Edo, Meiji, Taisho, Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa - the store continues to be celebrated for its exquisitely grilled eels, each piece cooked with meticulous care, just as in the past.
Ogakiku is a famous century-old eel restaurant in Kawagoe. The eel skin is grilled until fragrant and crisp, while the meat is tender and delicate. Paired with the sweet savory sauce, it’s absolutely delicious. The restaurant has a strong traditional Japanese old-house atmosphere, and you can enjoy authentic unagi rice here. It’s a very popular dining spot in Kawagoe.
