Honorary No.1 Position :  Calbee Japan  

• Calbee Japan has made great efforts to produce natural low calorie snacks and potato chips.
• It is not new inventions they are using. It is a little bit of care. Slightly smaller packs, slightly less oil, raised snacks with air bubbles in them, vegetable crisps, and other small details, when combined, give calories almost 1/2 of other brands! This is a tremendous reduction!
  Congratulations for all the effort and care. Home site: www.calbee.co.jp

Cheese Almond *   No.1!   *

• A round rice cracker, a bit of cheese cream on it, and then one almond at top.
• One big pack contains 22 such, in small individual wraps.

Chestnuts   *   Delicious   *

• About 10 pieces of cooked peeled chestnuts.
• Wonderful choice of pack size. 70 calories only! One feels ok half of time. Then, on other times you can have 2 packs, and even then it is 140 calories only!
• 'Maruesu' Brand, is a small red pack. 71 calories.
• 'Kanebo Foods' Brand, is a small red-orange-white pack. 70 calories.
• in Sundrug

Cut Chocolate   *   from Bourbon  *

• 8 individually wrapped small chocolate cakes, all in a lovely small orange cartoon box with a lid.
• Even though 230 calories is not super low, during a non-diet period this is a wonderful option.
• in Lawson, Supermarkets, etc.

Air Crunky   *   from Lotte  *

• Crunchy white Chocolate with strawberry.
• 14 individually wrapped pieces, in a red & white cartoon box with a lid.
• the chocolate has tiny air-bubbles in its mass, similar to raised dough. this is how they could achieve the 210 calories. The producer calls this "fat bloom".
• Crunky, looked it up in dictionary ( OneLook 6 Million words ) , is not defined. A beautiful word.
• available in Lawson

Dried Apricot

• 5-6 pieces of dried apricot
• It is a small pack. not a lot. But if you emotionally agree with the portion size, half of the time it feels ok. I think it is a properly chosen pack size. More would be too much calories for only eating a few apricots.
• Natulage Brand. A beautiful made-up name. Used OneLook dictionary to check.
• in Sundrug

Smoked Cheese   *   Cheese lovers this is special!    *

• About 15 tiny fingers of natural smoked cheese, with individual wraps.
• It does feel sufficient. Delicious smoked cheese, and it is only 164 calories, that is something.
• in Family Mart

Cheese Tara   *   Cheese for diets   *

• Natural cheese with a little bit of Tara (dried squid). Tastes like cheese pizza. I mean it.
• It is difficult to eat regular cheese in satisfactory amounts, but this one feels good and enough.
• "Just Pack" brand (Lawson, 40g, 352cal per 100g, 105yen)

Whiteen semi sugarless chewing gum

Japanese small bread   * FOUND CLASS 200 BREAD! *

• KANZEFU is the term
• they are round, coin sized sliced crisp breads.
• half pack is 76cal and very sufficient for a dinner. (20g 76cal 75yen). 1 pack is 40g 152cal 135yen
• there are various types. A 40g pack can be small or big in volume, choose the big volume ones. It should seem like you can't eat it all. And some are soft, some are hard. I prefer hard ones.

Japanese Dried Crisp Seaweed     *  Tastes as juicy as pizza  *

• It is delicious as a snack
• Also good with Tuna
• If you like the taste, it is close to pizza in juiciness and strength. Combined with tuna it is great!
• 1 pack is 6 individual small packs, each containing 5 very crisp sheets like stick chewing gums, around 100yen, sold everywhere.
• I could calculate the above pack to be in total about 10-20 calories.

• 1/2 pack! Don't eat all. Throw the rest away if you can't keep yourself from eating.
