OTTOTTO yakiniku

OKAY! So here goes my first real post. Today I will talk about this snack right here:

NAME: ottotto yakiniku flavored; it is a potato snack with the flavors of grilled meat marinade in the shape of sea creatures.

Thoughts on the packaging: The outside packaging is really cute (to me). How can you resist the little fin-less red whale wearing a little sailor hat floating above the water by a beach with its little sea creature shaped cracker puff pals? And the sun bathing squid? Need I say more?

The animals you can expect:

uni (sea urchin) , ebi (shrimp), maguro (tuna), tako (octopus), ika (squid), kani (crab), fugu (puffer fish), hitode (starfish), manbou (sunfish), and kame (turtle).

The package that lies within the box: contains 2 bags.


The morsels in the package:


Can you figure out what these are? (tako, kame, and uni). OH WOW! THEY LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE PICTURES ON THE BOX!

Now down to the nitty gritty...

Smell: teriyaki sauce...or really similar to it.

Taste and Texture: A taste very similar to teriyaki sauce, but not exactly. Salty, yet sweet, but it does not taste like marinated meat like some might hope when they read YAKINIKU. The potato puff itself is almost cracker like. Like a thin goldfish cracker taste, but crispier.

Overall: I find this snack enjoyable. I used to buy the original ones when I was younger, which always reminded me of goldfish crackers without the cheese flavor.

Next blog entry: Sunfish.
