Amongst my backlog are packs of Japanese potato chips. Starting with the first pack - French Salad by Calbee.
Opening the packet there was quite a strong tang that wafted out, similar to that of a French salad dressing which is described by Google as
"a term originally used for an oil-and-vinegar-based salad dressing. In the United States during the 1950s, manufactured "French dressing" was developed. The term has come to mean the manufactured version, which is sweet in taste and colored red from the use of paprika and tomatoes."

The chips themselves had specks of green and red on them and were a light yellow colour.
They were very crunchy and salty with a mild tang of vinegar, so if you like salt and vinegar chips then you would like these. Japanese husband did NOT like these, his complaint was that they were too tangy (but again he doesn't like salt and vinegar, so there you go)
Overall, not a bad flavour. I'm not sure I would buy it again, but it was good to try once.
