The description
This product is a pack of spicy curry snacks with Chiikawa-themed packaging. I found them at 7-11 recently, and they were priced at 194 yen including tax.
The good
These are a fun snack, especially if you enjoy a bit of spice and are a Chiikawa fan. I liked that you get two levels of flavor in one packet, and even though the curry seasoning is tasty on its own, the real fun is adding the little packet of extra-spicy chilli powder. Giving everything a shake and having the flavor transform makes it feel a bit more interactive than your usual bag of snacks! Coming in at under 200 yen, I think it's a decently priced savory snack that does have that novelty factor in spades.
The not so good
The main downside with these is that the extra-spicy chilli powder might be a bit much for some people. Even though I enjoyed being able to adjust the heat, adding the whole packet makes quite a difference, so it's probably not the best snack for anyone who isn't comfortable with spicy food!! Go easy and start with just a little sprinkle, and work your way up rather than going all in! I also think the novelty of adding your own seasoning is a big part of the appeal, so once you've tried it, there isn't necessarily much reason to keep buying them, unless you're a massive Chiikawa fan.
