A Tasty Fusion: Potigella Lands at Tokyo Station

April 22, 2025, marks a significant date for food enthusiasts as JAGA BOULDE, the innovative potato chip specialty shop, is set to reopen at Tokyo Station. This time, it introduces a delightful new offering: Potigella, a savory Italian snack inspired by the traditional tigella from Italy. This exciting collaboration between Grapestone Co., Ltd. and Calbee brings forth an enticing product that promises to deliver a unique tasting experience.

What is Potigella?

Potigella is crafted from 100% Hokkaido milk mozzarella cheese, which melts beautifully to create an irresistible filling. Encased in a crispy yet chewy dough marked with a unique 'P' stamp, each bite of Potigella reveals a luscious, creamy center filled with mashed potatoes combined with rich ingredients like onions, Gouda cheese, fresh cream, and butter. The result is a decadent, mouth-watering treat that is both innovative and reminiscent of traditional Italian flavors.

Freshly Baked on-site

One of the standout features of Potigella is that it is baked fresh in-house, ensuring that it is served hot and ready to enjoy. This distinctive preparation offers consumers the opportunity to savor the dish immediately after it's made, or they can opt to reheat it at home to experience the same fresh taste later.

Exclusivity at JAGA BOULDE

Available exclusively at the JAGA BOULDE store located in the Gransta shopping area within Tokyo Station, Potigella is not just a snack; it's an experience. This new Italian-inspired treat claims a prominent spot among Tokyo's latest food offerings, making it the ideal gift for visitors looking for a unique Tokyo souvenir.

Collaboration with Renowned Chefs

The charm of Potigella doesn’t end with its taste; it is also the result of expertise from revered culinary establishments. The recipe has been refined with the guidance of Elio Locanda Italiana, an Italian government-certified restaurant based in Tokyo, known for delivering authentic Southern Italian flavors. Their commitment to quality ensures that Potigella resonates with the essence of Italian cuisine while embracing local ingredients.

JAGA BOULDE: Evolution of Flavors

JAGA BOULDE isn't merely a launchpad for Potigella; it’s undergoing a transformation itself. Known for its potato chip innovation, this shop will now also feature sweet potato snacks, blending the flavors of both potatoes and sweet potatoes. Alongside Potigella, customers can expect favorites like Jaga Boulde Chips made with gourmet seasoning and the next-generation Aburi O-satsu Chips, which are prepared using unique techniques to enhance flavor and texture.

The New Menu

The revised menu will showcase a variety of flavors, including:

• - Aburi O-satsu Chips: A premium sweet potato chip made from aged Benitenshi sweet potatoes.
• - Jaga Boulde Chips: Thin, crunchy chips expertly dotted with delectable flavors inspired by traditional Japanese cuisine.

These innovations are expected to captivate those who appreciate both classic and contemporary snacks, solidifying JAGA BOULDE's position as a must-visit destination for snack lovers.
