Kameda LT Foods, a joint venture between LT Foods and Japan-based Kameda Seika, has introduced a new addition to its Kari Kari snack range — Krispy Hopu in the 'Sweet and Salty' flavour. This new product is designed to meet the growing demand for healthier snacking options, offering a roasted rice-based alternative that is gluten-free, vegan, and free from palm oil.
Krispy Hopu is inspired by the traditional Japanese snack 'Salada Hopu' and reflects the rice heritage of Niigata, Japan. The snack delivers a distinct taste profile that blends sweet, salty, and umami flavours, aimed at consumers looking for light yet flavourful snacks. It is made using a roasting process, not frying, making it a suitable choice for those mindful of their dietary preferences.
Available in two convenient sizes — a single-serve pack priced at ₹20 and a sharing pack at ₹50 — Krispy Hopu caters to both individual and group snacking occasions. The product is currently being rolled out on select e-commerce and quick commerce platforms, with wider availability in retail outlets across key cities planned in the coming months.
With Kari Kari, Kameda LT Foods continues its strategy of combining Japanese rice snack expertise with Indian market insights, further expanding its presence in both domestic and select international markets.
