Pringles recently unveiled a limited edition ramen flavor of chips with the introduction of the latest Kanto Dashi Shoyu Ramen Pringles. The new flavor celebrates Japan's Eastern Kanto region, which is known for its soy flavored seafood dashi soup case.
This soup style is the foundation of the new flavor as the potato chip builds upon the distinct seafood notes that are further enhanced by tastes of soy sauce and green onion as well. The honor of the Kanto region continues beyond the palette with the packaging as well. On the cylindrical packaging, there is a bowl of ramen along with the skyline of Tokyo, the Tokyo Skytree, and the Sensoji Temple. The new flavor is exclusively available at certain snack vending machines across Japan.
