This new 'Regional Flavors' series allows consumers to easily enjoy region-specific tastes with 'Jagabee', and will be sold exclusively at convenience stores.

This limited-edition 'Jagabee' offers an addictive balance of sweetness and umami that fans of 'Kyushu soy sauce' flavored snacks will enjoy.

It features an illustration of 'Potta', the 'Jagabee' mascot character, depicted in the style of a casual kimono worn by the famous Kyushu figure Saigo Takamori, emphasizing the local flavor.
