About KOIKEYA The Kunshio Series

"KOIKEYA The Kunshio" was first launched in 2022 as an exclusive product on the Koikeya Online Shop. The series features domestically-sourced potatoes cut into luxuriously thick slices and smoked in their entirety. This unique production method creates a distinctive flavor that has earned praise from customers, with comments such as "I was surprised by the smoky aroma that filled the air the moment I opened the bag" and "An irresistible taste for beer lovers."

Since last year, the series has evolved to embrace the theme "Experience Japan's seasons through smoked salt," offering seasonal flavors that match different times of the year to provide customers with even more surprise and delicious discoveries.

Winter Smoked Edition: Apple Wood Flavor

The winter-exclusive "KOIKEYA The Kunshio Winter Smoked Edition" marks a series first by using apple wood chips for smoking. The apple wood chips impart a sweet aroma and subtle acidity that combine to create a refined product perfectly suited for the winter season.

The seasoning is kept simple with salt only, allowing the natural flavor and aroma of domestic potatoes to shine through. Through meticulous temperature control and careful hand-smoking of each chip over an extended period, customers can enjoy an elegant smoked fragrance.

The rich aroma that spreads the moment you open the bag makes these chips a perfect companion for winter evening drinks. Experience the concentrated flavors that fill your mouth with each bite.
