Frito-Lay offers shaketoba fish-flavored corn chips exclusively in northern Japan.

Frito-Lay Japan's Shaketoba Corn Chips replace cheese with salmon for a unique, flavorful snack inspired by local cuisine.

Imagine taking a Dorito, ditching the cheese, and slapping on some salmon. That’s what you get with Frito-Lay Japan’s Shaketoba Corn Chips. Instead of the usual matcha or wasabi, they decided to go straight for fish. We stumbled upon these gems during a trip to Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido, known for its seafood and convenience stores like Seicomart.

The name "Shaketoba" combines the Japanese words for salmon and winter leaves, referencing a traditional Hokkaido jerky. Opening the bag, we were ready for a strong fish smell, but to our surprise, they smelled mild. They have the same crispiness as Doritos, with subtle salmon flavor that won’t assault your senses. Add some mayonnaise for dipping, and you'll find yourself battling the urge to eat the whole bag. So, while “fish-flavored corn chips” may sound odd, trust me, they’re delicious! And hey, if Hokkaido’s not on your itinerary, you can grab them from Seicomart online.
