I’m not quite sure whether we can call this as a snack or not. The name is “Yotchan.” But when we visit the homepage of the producer, it is in the lineup of snacks. So, it is snack.
Among Japanese, this snack is known as “Yotchan Ika(squid)” because it used to be made of squid. But today, they use other fish also. By the way, the name “Yotchan” is from nickname of the founder of the company.

1．Package

As for the package of cheapest snack, this is surprisingly impressive. On the background of red and white belt, a squid is trying to catch fish. How fantastic.

Of course, the other side is also decorated in red and white. Since the content is not completely dry, you can see some pieces are touching on the surface. It stimulates my appetite undoubtedly.

2．Taste

Let’s open it. As well as the package, the content is also in surprising color. Pink or orange?

The size of the pieces are roughly same. About the size of your fingertip. When you put it in, again, the taste is also surprisingly sour. They keep cut squid and fish in vinegar and make this snack.

As you have closer look, you can find there’s some difference between piece and piece. They mix squid with other fish and the difference adds some accent on eating it.
