《Opportunity for release》

《Product Features》
1. Pay attention to seasoning
When I decided on the salty base, if I just sprinkled salt on, the saltiness would be too strong, and if I reduced the amount of salt, it would be unsatisfying, so by seasoning with a seasoning liquid, I was able to get the seasoning just right.
It’s not too salty, so you can enjoy it with rice or on its own. Also, since it is seasoned with a salty seasoning liquid, it won’t stain your hands even if you eat it as is.
2. Environmentally friendly product design
Uses environmentally friendly biomass ink
PET cans are often used for seasoned glue, but from an eco-friendly perspective, we have adopted a pouch type.
By changing from a bottle type to a stand pouch type, we have reduced plastic usage by 90% on a weight basis.
The pouch is made into a standing pouch that won’t fall over at the dining table.
3. Playful package design
Kakeru-kun’s face is hidden
In fact, the official character “Nori Kakeru-kun” appears on the bottom of the package.
You can enjoy Nori Kakeru-kun with various expressions.
《Utilization example》
Snacks made with cabbage, green onions, lemon, etc.
