Calbee, Inc. today announced the launch of the Jagariko brand’s first chilled ready-made meal, the “Jagariko Salad Flavor Potato Salad.” Developed in collaboration with general food wholesaler Nippon Access Co., Ltd., the new product will be released in retail stores nationwide beginning September 22, 2025, with an advance launch at FamilyMart stores nationwide on September 16, 2025.
The product marks a milestone for the Jagariko brand, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this October. Inspired by consumer recipes that adapted Jagariko into potato salad, the new ready-to-eat version recreates the brand’s signature “Salad” flavor in a convenient chilled format. After six months of product development, the recipe balances mayonnaise and vinegar to reduce acidity while highlighting the natural sweetness of domestic potatoes.

“Jagariko has been loved for three decades as both a snack and a source of fun,” said a Calbee spokesperson. “This new product brings that same spirit to the prepared food aisle, offering consumers a fresh and convenient way to enjoy Jagariko.”
