Kasugai has been crafting premium Japanese snacks since 1928. We created this specific blend because our customers wanted a snack with real wasabi heat that was also easy to eat and didn't leave a lingering smell. We selected peas for their light crunch and broad beans for their hearty satisfaction, roasting them in small batches to perfection in our GMP-certified facility in Gifu, Japan. The wasabi is sourced directly from trusted growers in Shizuoka, known for the highest quality. This snack isn't just a hit overseas; it's a top-ranked savory snack in Japanese convenience stores, loved for delivering a powerful flavor experience in a clean, convenient form. We test every batch to ensure the signature crisp texture and balanced heat our customers expect.

Kasugai Wasabi Roasted Peas & Broad Beans is a spicy Japanese snack that combines roasted green peas and broad beans with a distinctive wasabi seasoning. The primary ingredients include green peas and broad beans, which are roasted to provide a crunchy texture and nutty flavor base rich in plant-based protein and fiber, supporting satiety and digestive health. The wasabi flavoring is derived from a blend of horseradish, mustard, and other spices, creating the characteristic pungent heat that stimulates the senses without overwhelming the palate. Additional ingredients typically include vegetable oil for roasting, salt for seasoning, and sometimes sugar or starch to balance the spiciness and enhance crispiness. The inclusion of wasabi not only delivers a unique spicy kick but also offers potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits, while the legumes contribute essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins. This combination results in a snack that provides both satisfying crunch and complex flavor, appealing to those seeking an adventurous yet wholesome alternative to conventional snacks.
