What is Jaga Pokkuru?

Jaga Pokkuru is a souvenir snack made from 100% Hokkaido potatoes produced at Potato Farm. Where does it get the name Jaga Pokkuru? The unusual name Jaga Pokkuru is derived from "Koropokkuru," a fairy passed down through stories by the indigenous Ainu people as a god that brings happiness. As the name suggests, this delicious treat will surely make a delightful snack.
What is Potato Farm?
Potato Farm in Chitose, Hokkaido produces Jaga Pokkuru. Calbee, one of Japan's leading snack food makers, has a wish to "deliver the nature of Hokkaido and the feelings of its people to the world!" This is a brand of souvenir snacks made with ingredients produced in Hokkaido. Products made with 100% Hokkaido ingredients are manufactured exclusively at the Chitose plant. The charm of Potato Farm products is that you can enjoy the simple and gentle taste of the ingredients.
Where you can buy Jaga Pokkuru
Jaga Pokkuru is manufactured and sold only in Hokkaido! Therefore, it is generally only sold at airport, station kiosks, and souvenir stores in Hokkaido. Here's a tip for those who want to buy it outside Hokkaido! Some of the three Hokkaido Dosanko Plaza stores in Tokyo may carry the product. It is also available at airport souvenir stores in the departure areas of Narita Airport and Kansai International Airport.
[Fun fact] Hokkaido produces and harvests the largest amount of potatoes in Japan!
Hokkaido boasts the largest production and harvest of potatoes in Japan. The total annual production of potatoes in Japan is said to be about 2.5 million tons. About 80% of that is produced in Hokkaido. Jaga Pokkuru, made from 100% Hokkaido potatoes, can be said to be one of the most representative tastes of Japan.

Jaga Pirika, derived from “pirika” meaning “cute” in Hokkaido’s Ainu language, is a colorful and bite-sized snack, a look that is reminiscent of dried fruit. However, it is actually the natural color from the potatoes.
