New Products ( 10 )
TOKYO —
Burger chain Lotteria Corp is selling a new type of french fried potato. The Marugoto is a whole potato divided into wedge-shaped parts. Lotteria said it is using Hokkaido potatoes and Japanese salt to suit the taste of Japanese consumers. It is the first company in the fast food industry to use potatoes grown in Japan. Lotteria officials say they are hoping to help increase Japan’s food self-sufficiency rate by using potatoes grown in Japan.

Japanese salt, for gawds sake. What's next, Japanese air or even water?

It doesn't make sense to call it "french fried" in that situation.

Is Lotteria saying that regular french fries do not suit the taste of Japanese consumers?

And it's been scientifically demonstrated that, while salts from different parts of the world do differ in their chemical makeup, any differences in the mineral composition of various salts are so miniscule as to be undetectable by average human tastebuds. Thus, Japanese people are no more likely to prefer domestically produced salt than they are any other kind. The only thing that gives a perception of difference is the shape of the salt crystal itself--large and cubical for rock salts, flat and flaky for some sea salts, etc., hence conveying a distinct sensation on the tongue.
