Video summary
In this video, the host embarks on a mission to collect every limited edition Godzilla crisp available in Japan as part of a collaboration between the monster and Karamucho. Although initial attempts to find these snacks at various convenience stores and supermarkets yielded only three out of eight varieties, a friend eventually located the manufacturer's website where the full collection could be ordered online. Upon receiving the massive box, it was discovered that while most flavors were present, some came with duplicate packaging or alternative designs, meaning the host ultimately secured all unique flavors but not every single packet variation initially sought.
The tasting journey begins with the Sriracha chicken flavor, which is surprisingly mild and barbecue-like rather than intensely spicy, earning a rating of eight out of ten Godzilla heads. Next is the Yang Yum chicken, a distinctly sweet Korean-style flavor that fails to meet expectations for savory crisp lovers, resulting in a lower score of five. The volcanic variety follows, featuring a popular character design similar to Shin-chan and a ridged texture that allows for messy eating; despite being quite good, it receives a seven out of ten. A 90s-themed packet is also tried, noted for its superior cut that covers the tongue better than others, securing a high score of seven and a half.
The final batch includes more adventurous flavors like Wagyu wasabi beef and a seafood mix featuring clams, mussels, and shrimp. The Wagyu crisp is criticized for being overly sweet with little meatiness, while the wasabi version delivers an intense, burning sensation that overwhelms the palate but is deemed suitable only for those who specifically enjoy strong wasabi. The seafood crisp offers a unique prawn cocktail-like taste that dissolves instantly in the mouth, earning a modest six out of ten. Ultimately, the Sriracha chicken is crowned the favorite due to its perfect balance of texture and zesty flavor, while the host concludes that these limited edition packets are likely ending soon and plans to explore other dinosaur-themed candies in future adventures.

Hello everybody and welcome back. Well,
I I'd say welcome back. This is the
first of maybe the second in this
series. The first episode we ate all of
the Godzilla burgers. And this time
we're going to eat all of the Godzilla
crisps because apparently in Japan
there's a promo on at the moment which
you could basically
get like crisps that already exist, but
this time they're limited edition
packaging and maybe flavors. I don't
know. I don't eat crisps that much.
So I set out on a mission to go around
all of the combinis and supermarkets to
see if I could collect all of the
Godzilla crisps. Out of eight of them I
got a whopping
three.
I got three crisps.
Every store I went to either had two or
one type of these crisps. So I don't
know what's going on with that. So
I was like, well, that's that video
scrapped anyway. Not doing it anymore, I
guess. And then Whitney MVP Whitney
managed to find the uh website that
makes the companies and you're like,
"Oh, you could just order it on there."
Makes the compa- Did I say makes the
companies? Oh my god. She found a
website of the company that makes the
crisps and you can just order them all
on there. So
a massive ba- massive box
of uh of crisps from them. And would you
believe out of the eight limited edition
packets we have seven.
With three duplicates. I don't know how
this happened. You see You see the
limited like the crisps here. You see
You see those two in the bottom? Those
two in the middle? They're the same
packet of crisp.
But there's two variations
of packaging for said crisps. So then I
was like, "Oh, wait. Hold on. Well, I've
got three duplicates, right? This is the
one with one other alternate uh packet."
They only gave me one of this packet of
crisp.
And they gave me three
of a different variety that have the
same packaging. Um I don't I've I've
ordered from the company and I still
don't have all the packets, but I do
have all the flavors. Really, that's the
important part. This is part of the
collaboration Godzilla versus Karamucho,
the spicy and tasty showdown of the
century. Sriracha, it's Sriracha
chicken? I don't know. Let's try this
one and rate it how many Godzillas out
of 10.
>> Cuz I want to keep the top I want to
keep the front with me.
Yeah.
>> It smells like barbecue crisps. Money
money money money shot, ridged for more
flavor.
They're not spicy.
So, I don't think Godzilla's winning
this one.
Where do you want to go here? You go,
you want to have one? Godzilla, do you
want one?
It's nice. It's not particularly
crazy on the spice, although
after a second one, it's starting to
build.
>> Have two little ones.
>> I know what the ladies like.
>> It is nice, isn't it? Mhm, okay. I gave
the Sriracha packet
the one that has supposed to have two
alternatives, probably for a good reason
cuz it's very popular. I'M GOING TO GIVE
THAT like eight out of 10 Godzillas.
Yeah, I'd say I'd say it's pretty good.
Pretty good. It's not like there's
always room for improvement. We have
I don't know what what what's on this
packaging. Is this What kind of Godzilla
is this? Show Shonen Shojo Godzilla? I
don't know. It's the one that ends up
becoming like volcanic, I think. Sweet
and hot yang
yang yum chicken flavor. Yang yum. So,
this is Korean? Okay, so we got another
chicken. We've got the packaging lovely.
I like the presentation. So, let's open
this up. Bag shot. Does it look good?
Yang yum chicken. Oh my god, this is
big.
Sweeter. This is nice. [clears throat]
It's not as savory and it's not as
spicy. It's definitely sweet. I've never
had yang yum chicken before. Have I?
Oh, never mind. Godzilla, do you like
yang yum chicken? He likes Young Gamera
chicken. The thing with Japan is
normally the crisps you get are sweet.
Yeah, they're they're just like not what
you were expecting. Like you get
choosing on your crisps over here,
they're sort of like sweet. It's like
no, I want the tangy savoriness. And
this is kind of falling into that
category. I'm going to give that
I'm going to give that five Godzilla
heads out of 10. It's not offensive,
it's just kind of meh. I'd rather have
something else. Next one. Now we've got
the volcanic Godzilla. There he is in
all his flaming glory. I can't remember
what happens with this. Does he absorb
the power of an active volcano? I think
it's something like that. Hey, what's
up? Another long day?
Just try our yummy spicy Karamucho and
say hi with three eyes.
>> [laughter]
>> This is one of the packets that I was
actually able to find on my
misadventures. I like how he's got
little little character. I think that's
their character. This It's No, it's not
Shin-chan, but it's it's the same style
as Shin-chan. Crisps out. Crisps out.
Look, there's like millions of them in
there. Three different packets, three
different styles. So, I mean that's a
single crisp right there. You know,
you're you're not going to have one.
That's what you you'll grab a big
handful of. And um
Oh dear.
Yum yum yum. No, don't spit them out.
Come on. Spoilers. I've actually had
these ones before. I think the only
difference is they have Godzilla
packaging on them. These are really
popular. These are the ones that I also
found everywhere. I think generally most
convenience and supermarkets in Japan
sto- stock these kind of crisps. On a
sandwich, they're quite nice. Although
that that ridge one we started with
that's the texture you want. It can sit
like the the structural integrity for a
packet of crisps that's what you want.
I'd have to give these ones seven
Godzilla heads. They're more messy. Like
the best way to eat these is just like
down the packet.
You know, but you can't do that in
public, can you? You can't
run around. And you wouldn't do that
anyway cuz you're IN JAPAN. NEXT
PACKETS. This is a good one. I like this
packaging. 90s um
I don't even know like style pattern
that you see you know if anyone's like
we're doing a 90s party and they always
do that and it's on the bottom of the
top which I quite like. No yeah this is
this is the one that I I was able to
track down one of the three. BAG SHOT
BAG SHOT BAGGINSES BAGGINSES. Okay so
this time
look at the crisp Whitney get a good
look at that crisp. Oh that's nicer.
I think it allows to cover the palate of
the tongue I'm pretty sure that it is
exactly the same it's just a different
cut but the way it just covers your
tongue better.
That's nice. Same crisp different cut
better packaging in my opinion. I love
that Godzilla's looking you straight on.
Well then eat your grace oh
I think I'll give this one seven and a
half Godzilla heads.
Just it this shape just edges it out as
well as the um
the better crisp packaging. And Whitney
wants those ones. All right only three
left to go but it's about to get wild.
Wagyu wasabi beef. It nothing says Japan
then Wagyu and wasabi. Umami of Wagyu
beef meets sharpness of wasabi. A
fascinating collaboration that will not
let you go.
And then it says something about it
being like 100%
I don't know I'm assuming that says like
Wagyu beef or something.
OH NO
THE PACKAGING HAS FAILED ME. BAG SHOT.
>> [laughter]
>> Pretty sizable like Wagyu wasabi.
Okay I got the beef first.
It was quite sweet.
Mhm oh here it comes.
Okay.
After is the wasabi.
Mhm felt that hit my nose. Ooh.
Wow it actually did exactly what it
said. It's interesting because it's it's
sweet it's not that savory. Godzilla do
you want one? Oh that's a lovely one.
Yum yum yum yum. Oh you didn't even
finish your little french fry version.
It's not a crisp I'd probably have five
and a half Godzilla heads. I want to
give it six, but there's just nothing
really there that's like, "Ooh, I could
imagine that going well with
anything."
>> [laughter]
>> It's it's such a strong flavor and it's
more sweet than savory. Oh, okay. But
the better version, we have the same
sort of situation. This is the same
Was it Wagyu beef with wasabi, but
instead of crisp form, it's in like
french fry form. The packaging on this
looks way cooler. I think that one
screams to me more wasabi than the other
one that was more meaty flavor like a
like black and brown reddish.
Whereas this one says,
"You're going to get wasabi from this."
Oh, it doesn't it doesn't say Wagyu.
>> [gasps]
>> This is just meat and wasabi. All right.
Bag shot. Look at the crisp yard.
In the bag. So again, same situation.
You get these single single crisps that
are quite condensed. Ooh, okay.
Oh.
Oh, that is strong. Oh, it's tingling my
lips.
Yeah, that that one's wasabi. There you
go. When you have a big mouthful of
that. Although as soon as you finish the
packet of crisps, or sorry, the mouthful
of crisps, the taste dissipates almost
instantly.
>> [laughter]
>> It's it's so strong, isn't it?
Got some more.
It burns.
>> [laughter]
>> OH, THAT'S IT. THAT'S WHAT THE Godzilla
is. Burning Godzilla. That's the one
that's got like all the fire and stuff.
I don't want to rate it lower than five
cuz it's all right. If you like wasabi,
oh, these are the crisps for you. But I
don't know anyone that particularly
likes wasabi. When I was growing up,
wasabi was all like, "Go on, try some of
that." It was never like, "Ooh, I can't
wait to have some wasabi." They could
work if they're put in a sandwich or
something, but that's my Britishness
showing, I suppose.
>> I don't even know how to do it.
>> [laughter]
>> WHAT? THAT'S WHAT YOU DO WITH CRISPS,
YOU PUT it in a sarnie, and it's lovely,
right? You get the You get the softness
of the bread, the crisp crispiness, and
the
You don't You don't get it.
4 and 1/2
I want to give it five, but out of all
of them
probably the one I would least pick.
Although, we have one last crisp that
could seal our fate. THIS IS
THE GOLDEN PACK. King Ghidorah versus
What is it? I don't know.
Uh Super Mucho. Cuz on the back, their
little character not only is Burning
Godzilla, but he's also I don't know,
somewhere there. He's dressed up as King
Ghidorah. Seafood all out attack. This
is going to be interesting. I mean, look
at it. You see like freaking I was going
to say Shellder.
>> [laughter]
>> Clams, mussels, and shrimp kind of
waiting for an explosion of shellfish
smell to emanate from this packet. Money
shot. Uh but, these are the same crisps
that are ridged, which are the first
ones, which I rated the highest, which
is eight out of 10. So, what's the crisp
look like? Well, it looks like that.
It's pale, and it's got flecks of green
stuff on it. Does it have a smell?
Mm.
Ooh.
Ooh, that's tangy.
Ooh.
It kind of reminds me of um
prawn cocktail. And it almost instantly
dissolved in my mouth. Huh. Strange. It
hit me like prawn cocktail.
Like that's what it tasted like. It was
like boom, and then it went
>> [laughter]
>> and faded away like instantly. All
right, Godzilla, do you want to eat that
one?
If you didn't tell me that that was
seafood, I'd probably be like, "Ooh,
it's like got a zesty tomato nest to
it." I would give this one
you know, for the king,
I'd give that maybe six.
It's still not like one I'd pick, I'd
say. But, it's okay.
I'm starting to now get a build of some
weird aftertaste that I'm assuming is
shellfishy. So, out of all of these, the
first bag is
>> [laughter]
>> I think, just because of the texture,
spice level,
Oh, I have another one. It's Sriracha
crisp. So, this one I couldn't find
anywhere at all. But, you know why this
wins?
Because it has like lovely texture,
and it also it hits you with a zesty
Sriracha taste.
Not only is it hot, you get a nice mhm
bump of like juiciness. The forbidden
crisp. Every crisp the Godzilla rate I'm
about to eat now. No, I'm just looking
at the dust.
I think I'm going to make a new one. So,
I'll make my new sandwich. One of you,
yeah, and that one, and then the seafood
one, a sprinkling of some wasabi, wagyu
beef and wasabi on top of that, and
finally the the spicy arigato.
Wow.
I don't taste anything. Yeah.
I'm supposed to be like hit by all these
flavors. I think my taste buds have just
been overwhelmed. I did get like a juicy
flavor on point. Quite a strong That was
nice.
But, I don't know if that I don't know
what that flavor was. It was just like
my tomato
>> [laughter]
>> taste buds went, "Ooh, this is nice."
And then they just died.
They were like,
"Oh, oh." And they just passed out. You
see if that if that was a crisp you
somehow condensed that all into a crisp
and be like seven?
>> [laughter]
>> I wouldn't be like wow that was amazing.
I was expecting to go down a bit of a
roller coaster there. That's why I was a
bit disappointed. I got to the front of
the queue and they went rides closed. I
mean if you're in Japan I don't know how
long they're going to be around for cuz
I think they've been out for a while. So
by the time this video is up PROBABLY
STOPPED THEM.
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. ALL OF THE
Godzilla crisps out on display.
Well yeah I think I still think my
favorite one was that one.
Sriracha one. Took a second there to
read that. But let me know in the
comments which one you would like to
try. I mean by the time this video is up
collaboration might be over but good
thing is normally I mean most of these
flavors exist in Japan. They're just
having a collaboration of limited
edition packets. Which even when I
ordered the full thing I got
three packets that don't have alternate
air covers and the one that does have an
alternate cover I didn't get. There are
other things that I kind of want to
cover in Japan has loads of like
dinosaur candies and other animals. So
maybe we'll check those out.
Maybe we'll check those out. I don't
know. But anyway if you enjoyed the
video leave a like. Until next time.
Bye. Bye.
