The Devilish Delight of Bokun Habanero

There are cute mascots aplenty in Japan, but not many sport a mischievous grin as its surrounded by flames. Bokun Habanero, which translates to “Tyrant Habanero”, is a popular spicy potato ring snack with a memorable mascot. The habanero is said to be at least ten times hotter than a jalapeno pepper, so those who want something with a kick should enjoy this snack. Check out the search link for other flavors from the brand, including some that are even more spicy!

Kara Mucho: Japan’s Most Popular Spicy Snack

Those looking to try Japan’s most popular spicy snack should pick up Kara Mucho. Debuting in 1984, the snack kicked off the spicy flavor trend that continues to this day. Similar to Bokun Habanero, the hot potato chip brand has an unusual mascot: a spicy snack craving granny. The crunchy french fry variant is the most popular, and outside of chili pepper there are other zesty flavors to check out.

Calbee Takes on Chili

Tokyo’s Calbee is one of Japan’s most famous snack makers. Walk into any supermarket or convenience store, and you will see rows and rows of their many brands. Best known for potato chips, this chili pepper variation mixes their classic flavor with hot red peppers. The thickness of the chips make a nice crunch, and the ridges give it a unique mouthfeel. There is also a thinner variety as well for those who want the chips to melt in your mouth.

Wasabinori Taro’s Wonderful Wasabi World

It’s impossible to ignore wasabi when talking about spicy Japanese food. The green condiment is a staple with many Japanese dishes, and its intense heat will challenge even the most hardened spicy food fans. The savory Wasabinori Taro dried fish snack packs a strong wasabi punch along with a light soy sauce flavor. The distinct mixtures of flavors make it popular with even those who shy away from fiery foods.

The Spicy “Seeds” of Kaki no Tane

Kaki no Tane has quite a deceiving name. It can be translated to “persimmon seeds” but there’s no fruit or seeds at all! It’s actually a peanut and rice cracker mix, though it takes its name from the fact that the rice crackers share the same shape as a persimmon seed. These are not your typical rice crackers however, as they are coated not only with soy sauce, but also a dash of chili pepper. Kaki no Tane is not as intensely hot as the other items on this list, so it’s perfect for those who just want a light spicy flavor.
