Background & Product Description
While snacks are commonly purchased to stave off hunger, surveys suggest that more than 60% of women in their 20s feel guilty when eating them. Oyatsu Kalpas 34g was developed to address that concern and offer a new way to enjoy meat-based snacking. The product features an adorable panda design and comes in a stand pack with a zipper for easy portability. Its energy and carbohydrate values are lower than those of chocolate, allowing for guilt-free snacking. Since the main ingredient is meat, it also provides a satisfying way to curb hunger.
It fits a wide range of situations — from a break during work or study, to a quick breakfast or lunch on a busy day, or a small bite before meals.
