The description
This product by YBC (Yamazaki Biscuits) is a grilled corn flavor snack; not quite a potato chip, but similar. Each snack has four-layers making it crunchy.
The good
I have to admit; I have little good to say about YBC's Aerial Yaki Tomorokoshi (Grilled Corn). However, that is because (while I like corn / corn on the cob) I am not big into corn flavored snacks and I also am not a fan of these types of almost-but-not-quite potato chip type snacks! At a push I will say the crunchy sound was fun! The price wasn't bad either at around 150 yen. I bought them at a store I rarely go to. I don't think any of my local supermarkets or drug stores sell them. Possibly because they don't sell that well.
The not so good
As above, they don't seem to be widely available, so if you do like this product you may have to seek out stores in your area that stock it regularly. They did taste a bit like fried corn, it was very subtle. Overall, they came across as really bland to me; almost tasteless or how imagine raw wheat might taste if its toasted. The flavor feels very one note and it was pretty torturous trying to finish the bag with such a repetitive, unsatisfying flavor. I would never buy this product again, but I may try the other flavors in the range, just to see how they do by comparison.
