Calbee Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Makoto Ehara) launches Calbee Kataage Potato Miso Katsu Flavor as a new souvenir product for the Tokai area on Monday, January 26, 2026. This product features the popular hard texture of the "Kataage Potato" series and recreates the taste of Nagoya's iconic dish, "miso katsu," symbolizing the local food culture.

Launch Background

Calbee develops souvenir products that recreate local flavors from Hokkaido to Okinawa Prefecture, delivering "deliciousness" and "fun" to customers. The "Kataage Potato" souvenir series currently includes eight varieties nationwide, all featuring the characteristic "the more you chew, the better it tastes!" hard texture. This new addition brings the Calbee Kataage Potato Miso Katsu Flavor, inspired by the beloved "miso katsu" of the Tokai region, to souvenir shops in the Tokai area. As a special product only available here, customers can enjoy it as a souvenir from trips or business travels, or for personal enjoyment at home.

Product Features

Calbee Kataage Potato Miso Katsu Flavor delivers a punchy taste where the richness of sweet miso sauce combines with the savory umami of meat that gradually spreads. The "Kataage Potato" format enhances satisfaction with every chew, creating a fulfilling taste experience even with a small portion.

The package design adds Nagoya's gorgeous aesthetic to the Japanese-inspired world of "Kataage Potato." Both front and side panels feature bold designs that emphasize the product's appeal as a souvenir with visual impact and enjoyment. The front surface features gold reishi clouds (reishshigumo) styled as steam to convey a sense of luxury, while the side panel draws inspiration from the gold folding screens of Nagoya Castle's Honmaru Palace (Omote Shoin), expressing the authentic Nagoya souvenir character.
