40 Different Flavors of Pringles Available in Japan and its Crazy AF!

The ultimate collection of all the Pringles flavours ever produced in Japan


If there’s one thing we can’t get enough of in Japan, it’s the amazing array of limited-edition flavours produced by international brands specifically for the Japanese market. From drinks to chocolates and even burgers, some of the special releases you’ll find here aren’t available anywhere else, making them some of the most exclusive and sought-after products in the world.


One of the big international brands to delight our eyes and our tastebuds with their creative designs and flavours is well-known potato chip brand Pringles. After seeing some of their unique offerings on supermarket shelves recently, we decided to get in touch with the company to find out exactly what types of limited-edition flavours they’d produced in Japan over the years. The result is a mammoth collection of colourful tins so beautiful they would look right at home on the walls of a museum.


With only the 2017 collection currently available on the market, gazing over the entire range of Pringles released in Japan was a test of strength as we weren’t allowed to open any of the varieties from earlier collections. Still, that didn’t stop us from fawning over all the unique designs, which was exactly what we did, as we chronicled the entire collection from 2015-2017 for you below!












N.Y. Cheese Burger - Two limited-edition flavours came next, featuring the flavours of a good ol’ New York cheeseburger and a hot Thai curry.


Green Curry - Check out the traditional Thai hat flying off the chip’s head as it dips itself into the spicy coconut curry!


Spicy Sour Cream & Onion - This update to the original sour cream and onion variety includes the addition of more chilli for a spicier hit to the taste buds.


Egg Benedict - We say “Eggs Benedict”, they say “Egg Benedict”, but either way, this looks incredibly delicious, with the name of the dish written on the chalkboard in Japanese and a blurb beneath telling us this is “The flavour of a New York breakfast!”


Brazilian Lime & Chilli - This release features a chip dressed up for the Rio Carnival and a description that promises the “Best match of tart and spicy flavours”.


Winter Symphony – Tasty Salt - For the winter holidays, the staple flavours in the range received a 20-percent boost in contents for the party season.






Fried Chicken - In December, a fried chicken flavour called “Party Chicken” was released in two sizes, featuring a couple of chip revellers enjoying fireworks and cups of tasty karaage.






Mushroom Soup - 2016 was a huge year for the company, with more than 30 releases in total, starting with this creamy-flavoured mushroom soup.


French Salad - Next up was a healthy-looking offering, promising “An addictive, refreshing, tart flavour”.


Wasabi Nori - This original Japanese-based flavour offering appeared in February 2016, combining the flavour of wasabi and seaweed for a hit of umami goodness.


Smoky Potato Salad - With its delicious smoky flavour, this release was said to be a perfect snack to eat with alcohol.


Music – Tasty Salt - The staple flavours in the range were then released in a special “Music” variety, as part of a campaign where customers who collected 19 Pringles were eligible to receive a free speaker attachment to be used with empty canisters.






Basil & Salt - This limited-edition flavour adds the refreshing taste of basil to its popular salted chip.


Pizza Toast - This tasty offering is filled with the flavours of tomato and cheese.


Manhattan Clam Chowder - This good-looking variety features a chip dressed up as the Statue of Liberty, and the delicious taste of tomato-base clam chowder.




Nacho Cheese - As the year progressed, even more creative delights were released in stores, including a Nacho Cheese flavour inspired by Mexican cuisine.


 Flavour of the World – Brazilian Grilled Steak - A “Flavour of the World” series soon followed, to celebrate the Rio Olympics, with large-sized tins featuring the flags of four different countries: Brazil, America, Japan, and Italy.




Crushed Black Pepper - This chandelier-adorned classy looking package was created for the chip flavoured with pepper and salt.

Quattro Cheese - Cheddar, parmesan, cream cheese and mozzarella are the four cheeses used in this flavourful variety.


American Roast Chicken - This American-inspired release captures the taste of an authentic roast chicken dinner.

Hawaiian BBQ - This pink-hued tin has barbecued sauce flavours inside, inspired by the fusion style of a Hawaiian BBQ.

Mexican Salsa - Spicy tomato and onion flavours abound in this limited-edition Mexican variety.

Winter Symphony – Tasty Salt - The staple flavours in the range received an extra-large size again for the holidays, with the new addition of Quattro Cheese.







Takoyaki - A regional Japanese delicacy was introduced to the Pringles lineup last year, with the takoyaki, or octopus ball, flavour available for sale only in the Kansai area (Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo, Nara, Wakayama, and Shiga prefectures), where the dish is famous.


Karaage - Another Japanese flavour sensation, this one captures all the delicious flavours of karaage, or crispy fried chicken morsels, complete with a tavern-like izakaya setting on the tin.


Herb Sour Cream & Onion - The original sour cream and onion flavour received a dill-filled upgrade for a limited time at the end of last year.


Wasabi Nori - This year kicked off with the same Japan-exclusive flavour that was available back in February 2016, only this time with extra wasabi.
Music – Tasty Salt - The Music range returned for 2017 with another campaign offering free speaker attachments to customers who purchased 19 Pringles. This time, Jalapeno & Onion appeared instead of Ajiwai Consomme, alongside Tasty Salt and Sour Cream & Onion.






Mayo Cheese - Another variety currently in stores for a limited time, this one combines the creamy flavours of cheese and mayonnaise.


So there you have it – the definitive collection containing the entire Pringles range enjoyed by customers in Japan. Up to March 2017, that is.


We can’t wait to see what new releases lie in store for us in the future!
