Okinawa | Enjoy Freshly Fried Fries at Calbee and Witness the Magic of Japan's Snack Giant

If you've ever tried Calbee's chips or fries, or even the popular Jaga Pokkuru, you know this leading Japanese snack company is a household name. While expanding its market, Calbee is also dedicated to strengthening its connection with consumers. In 2011, Calbee opened its first "Calbee Plus" store in Tokyo's Harajuku, offering freshly fried snacks. Customers can watch the preparation process, taste freshly made products, and experience the freshness of their other offerings. Since then, nearly ten stores have opened, including one on Okinawa's International Street. This location serves freshly fried fries, limited-edition purple sweet potato fries, and cheese pizza fries. After placing your order and receiving a number, you can head to the glass window to watch the frying and seasoning process. Ordering the pizza-flavored fries lets you witness the frying and baking process firsthand. The fries taste even more aromatic and flavorful. The store also sells Okinawa-exclusive "Umi Pote" chips, which, according to the staff, are not available at the airport. If you're strolling along International Street, don't miss the unique experience of enjoying freshly fried Calbee snacks. 📍Address: 3 Chome-2-2 Makishi, Naha, Okinawa 900-0013, Japan 🚗 Access: A 8-minute walk from Makishi Station on the monorail.
