More Japanese Potato Chips
Since the last time I wrote about
Japanese chips I've tried
to take pictures of some of the ones I found more interesting. It seems like
every month there are new flavors. The only bad part is if you find a flavor you
crave they'll be unavailable in just a few weeks. I'll miss all this variety
when I go back to the states.

What is "Louisiana Cut"? I couldn't find anything on the web and I've

So much temptation! The only salvation is the portions are much smaller than American portions. Thank you for small miracles.
