No Fishy Aftertaste or Smell

The yuzu citrus cuts through perfectly, leaving only a clean, aromatic finish. Multiple reviews mention 'no smell on hands' and 'won't bother coworkers.'

Sophisticated Flavor Without Overwhelming Heat

The mentaiko spice builds gradually instead of attacking immediately. Japanese customers describe it as 'polite heat' that 'lets the nut flavor come through.'

Perfect Balance Your Taste Buds Recognize

The 45/30/15/8/2 ratio wasn't accidental. Japanese home cooks report 'every element has its moment' without any single flavor dominating.

Clean Energy Without The Crash

With 8g protein and 4g fiber per serving, customers note it 'keeps you going' without the sugar spike and crash of sweet snacks.

Kyoritsu Foods was founded in Osaka in 1985 by master blender Hiroshi Tanaka, who noticed modern snacking had become either bland or overly artificial. He created this blend after 3 years of testing 47 different nut and seasoning combinations with a panel of 200 Japanese home cooks. The formula uses only ingredients designated as 'Specialty Products of Japan' by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture. Each batch is tested in our JAS-certified facility for texture consistency and flavor balance. This specific mentaiko-yuzu ratio (patent pending JP-2023-04521) became the #1 ranked gourmet nut mix in Japanese department stores for 8 consecutive months, with customers reporting it 'disappears fast' and 'everyone asks where to get it.'

Kyoritsu Spicy Mentaiko & Yuzu Mixed Nuts is a Japanese gourmet snack that combines a blend of nuts with traditional Japanese flavors. The primary ingredients include almonds, cashews, and peanuts, which provide a crunchy texture and are rich in healthy fats, protein, and essential nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium, supporting heart health and sustained energy. The spicy mentaiko (pollock roe) seasoning adds a savory, umami depth with a kick of heat from chili peppers, enhancing flavor complexity while offering protein and omega-3 fatty acids for cognitive and anti-inflammatory benefits. Yuzu, a citrus fruit, contributes a bright, aromatic zest with vitamin C and antioxidants, boosting immunity and adding a refreshing contrast to the spiciness. Additional ingredients such as sugar and salt are used in moderation to balance sweetness and savoriness, while soy sauce and mirin (sweet rice wine) in the seasoning blend provide subtle umami notes and help bind the flavors to the nuts. This product is designed to deliver a gourmet snacking experience that marries texture with bold Japanese-inspired tastes, offering both indulgence and nutritional benefits in a convenient format.
