HARAJUKU: Calbee Plus for my absolute favorite Royce Chocolate covered POTATO CHIPS with a hint of Okinawa!!

Walking up Harajuku's Takeshita-Dori (street) and noticed Calbee+... another shop that was featured on TV because they make fresh potato chips in the shop.

Noticed chocolate covered shrimp snacks... soooo tempted! Picked it up... looked at it...

Then noticed my soooo super favorite Chocolate covered Potato chips by ROYCE (a Hokkaido chocolates company)... no hesitation! 

Service freshly fried potato chips in the back...

I normally get the item on the left but they have Royce with salt from Ishigaki-jima (Island), Okinawa!  I'll always support the islands wherever I go.

Absolutely delicious... the chocolate just melts in your hand after a few moments.  Soooo good!

Menu items you can order inside.

Now I no longer have to travel to the prefectural Hokkaido shops for my ROYCE chocolates... good to know. If you are in the area don't forget to buy some choco-chips!!

Shop: Calbee+ Takeshita-Dori Branch

YURAKUCHO: Hokkaido Dosanko Plaza for addictive Roy's Chocolate Covered Potato Chips!

If you want anything Hokkaido then a visit to Hokkaido's Prefecture shop in Yurakucho is a must...  There is always a line for Hokkaido soft cream ice cream.

Though I have a sweet tooth I don't normally introduce sweets on this blog... but this is just one exception.

Yup, it always sells out quickly but managed to score a box.  Its chilled in an open refrigerator...

Oh...yeah thats a brochure for the Pentax K-01... not sure if you know but nearly all the pictures on this blog are taken with the Pentax K-M (K2000).  Time for an upgrade!

Purchased on 3/20 so looks like there is about a 3 week expiration perios for the chips.... but honestly I usually finish this box in one sitting... ugh.  

There you go.  The chocolate is very soft and will easily melt in your hands.  Texture of the chips is a bit thicker than the normal (Pringles, Lays) chips and has a bit of a chewy hmmm....texture?  Anyways I've been addicted this for years a frequent gift for my friends back in the US.  If you love chocolate an chips then this is a MUST try!
