Takanotsume Chips

Japanese Food Review #66
Takanotsume translates as "hawks talon" and is the name of a chile pepper in Japan. I guess the pepper looks like a hawks talon (the shape of which we are all much too familiar with). Takanotsume is also an anime (translated as Eagle Talon for some reason) and stars a character that's clearly Hitler Jr. (you can see him on the right side of the bag). I guess the great people at Calbee realized that if they made a spicy chip, they could finally justify putting a Hitler type character on a bag of chips.

Ratings:
Gaybot: 4  The pepper added almost no flavor at all. It was slightly hot and that was all.
Girlbot: 4  We were in agreement on this one.
Overall: 4
