Jaga Boulde

Cut considerably thicker with deep ridges than everyday crisps, Jaga Boulde snacks offer an immediate, satisfying crunch. Developed as a collaboration between Calbee+ and Tokyo Banana, the thick-cut potato chips draw on seasonings supervised by a Hiroo-based Japanese restaurant alongside a proprietary KGT manufacturing method engineered to keep seasoning powder from clinging to fingers. The result combines a crisp exterior with an airy, flaky bite inside, lifting the simple potato chip into an elevated travel snack.

A perennial favourite at the counter is the Golden Consommé flavour, where the natural savour of the ingredients concentrates within the thick ridges for a lingering, well-rounded finish. Other recipes lean into traditional Japanese pantry staples: a bonito and kombu dashi blend celebrating clean umami, a Ryugu seaweed flavour with aromatic salinity, and a broth seasoning pairing shellfish stock with sea lettuce. Individually portioned sachets within gift boxes make it easy to assemble an assortment or share across a group.

Beyond the core chips, the shop also draws attention with timed releases such as Potigella, an item evoking the molten richness of a cheese gratin. The counter is situated on the 1F level of Gransta Tokyo inside the Yaesu North ticket gates of JR Tokyo Station, making it convenient to pick up boxes between Shinkansen connections or business errands. Credit cards and various cashless payment methods are accepted, allowing for a quick detour before boarding.
