Kataage Potato Chips Ume is a deeply Japanese, premium-quality thick-cut chip from Calbee — and a standout in the beloved Kataage lineup. Made with carefully selected potatoes and slowly fried at a low temperature, each chip delivers the signature firm, satisfying crunch that Kataage is famous for, with a heartiness that gets more flavorful the longer you chew. What makes this flavor truly special is the seasoning: 90% of the plum powder used comes from Kishu Nanko Ume — Japan’s most prized variety of umeboshi (salted dried plum), grown in Wakayama Prefecture and renowned for its rich, full-bodied tartness and natural sweetness. The pure, bright acidity of the plum is beautifully layered with fragrant ume shiso powder (plum & perilla leaf), adding a herbal, refreshing note that elevates the flavor into something truly authentic and complex. The result is a bold yet clean taste — tangy, subtly sweet, and unmistakably Japanese — that pairs perfectly with the sturdy, crunchy bite of the Kataage chip. Simple in concept, extraordinary in execution. Ume is one of the most iconic flavors in Japanese food culture, cherished for its refreshing sourness and its deep connection to Japanese culinary tradition. This chip brings that heritage to your snack bowl in the most satisfying way possible.
