Chip maker Koikeya created special potato chips specifically for pairing with sake brewer Koshimeijo's Yamashiroya Special Class. This sake is said to have a smooth flavor and a mild aroma, which makes it perfect for pairing with a variety of different foods, including snack foods such as these crispy potato chips.
The unique chips boast the flavor of shrimp, oyster and olive oil, which bring out the rice flavors in the Yamashiroya Special Class sake.
Koikeya named the potato chips Mikansei, which provides the sense that the potato chips are simply not complete without being enjoyed with sake. To simplify the enjoyment of Yamashiroya Special Class and the special potato chips, both products can be found in a bundle through Koikeya’s online shop.
