New Sensation: Ryukyu Aonori Potato Chips Launch

On June 23, 2023, the Pal System Cooperative, headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, welcomed a fresh addition to its snack collection: the "Potato Chips (Ryukyu Aonori)." These chips are crafted using premium Ryukyu aonori seaweed sourced exclusively from Okinawa's Ie Island, offering both a unique local flavor and support for sustainable practices in the region's fishing industry.

A Taste of Okinawa

The new Ryukyu aonori potato chips are made solely from high-quality ingredients: potatoes, vegetable oil, salt, and budu awa nori (a type of seaweed). This simple yet effective combination provides a crunchy texture and a burst of aromatic seaweed flavor with every bite. Consumers can indulge in this snack, knowing they are enjoying a taste of Okinawa while supporting local agriculture.

What makes Ryukyu aonori particularly special is its recent success in land-based aquaculture, a first for Okinawa, set to commence production in 2024. As rising sea temperatures and a shortage of fishers threaten traditional seaweed supplies, land-based farming offers a sustainable alternative that benefits not only the environment but also the economy of Ie Island. This innovation is pivotal for the island's fishing industry, encouraging new practices aimed at responsible resource management.

A New Option for Snack Lovers

This is not the first foray into potato chips for Pal System's private brand. The previously popular flavors—"Salt," "Consommé," and "Nori"—will now be joined by the limited-release Ryukyu aonori variety. Launching as a special edition, these chips will be available several times a year, showcasing the seasonal flavors of Okinawa.
