15 Exclusive Flavors of Doritos You Can Only Get in Japan

by Theo Ponthieux

Everybody loves to have snacks in between daily activities. Chips are one of the famous snacks we consider putting in our shopping bags. It's more exciting to buy something you can make yourself, like Doritos, where you can choose your choice of toppings. Enjoy the various Doritos flavors that are only available in Japan. Bizarre Japanese Doritos flavors like Mild salt, Roasted corn flavor, Nacho cheese flavor, Avocado & cheese, and Mexican tacos are also on the menu. SugoiMart offers a wide assortment of tastes for everyone here in Japan.

Where is Doritos Originally From?

Doritos are flavored tortilla chips manufactured by Frito Lay company, a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo, since 1964. The Dorito became popular and went national in the United States in 1966 with only one flavor: Toasted Corn. The product was successful, but additional market research revealed that many consumers outside the southwest and west countries thought the chip was too bland and not spicy enough for what was perceived to be a Mexican snack. Frito Lay responded by developing taco-flavored Doritos, which were also successful after being introduced nationally in 1967. Nacho cheese-flavored Doritos were introduced nationally in 1972 and were also a hit. For a brief period in the late 1970s, Sour Cream and Onion flavored Doritos were available but were discontinued in the early 1980s. Other specialty flavors began to appear in the late 1980s. Doritos are now considered to be a must-have for any super bowl party. They're the brains behind one of the biggest hits of taco bell.

What is Doritos Made Of?

The original tortilla chips, Toasted corn flavor, manufactured by Frito Lay, are made of whole corn (corn syrup solids), vegetable oil (corn, soybean, or sunflower oil), artificial flavor, various spices, and salt seasoning. Other additives include chile limon, fresh basil, citric acid, onion powder and more. Other ingredients differ between flavored chip varieties, which are continuously emerging at these times.

Two Doritos Flavors Found Only on Two Islands in Japan

In 2014, Family Mart Okinawa jointly developed products with Family Mart Taiwan. At this time, the convenience store chain in both locations brings wasabi soy sauce or wasabi shoyu and octopus dumpling sauce, known as takoyaki so-su flavors, to their customers. In Okinawa, the 90-gram bags are sold for ¥213 each.

Doritos combines their standard tortilla chip crunch with more traditional Japanese flavors. It brings us a salty-spicy combination of soy sauce with a hot punch of spicy wasabi. The second flavor is takoyaki sauce, which brings a flavor most known in the Kansai region of Japan. Specifically, Osaka, where takoyaki is often called octopus balls or octopus dumplings in English. Once cooked, the doughy balls are topped with seaweed flakes, mayonnaise, dried bonito fish flakes, and savory takoyaki sauce, which has a salty, pure, tangy flavor and a great taste combination with Doritos’ corn tortilla chips.

Shrimp Mayonnaise Doritos Hits Stores In Japan

Japan is home to a range of Doritos flavors that don't get in the U.S., like Bacon and Fried Chicken Doritos. Most tourists love tasting some flavors like Avocado Cheese Doritos, and others are cool hearing about it in other countries. Shrimp Mayonnaise Doritos fall into the latter category. But, whatever they taste like, the Pepto-Bismal-colored bag doesn't help.

In the 1960s, Doritos was introduced in the US, but it didn't come until 1987 when it reached Japan. Although its unique flavors aren't entirely new, they have been more apparent since 2006 until this generation. More flavor options have recently been added to the Doritos "Gourmet" range.

In addition, Frito-Lay, Doritos' parent company, released Mountain Dew Cheetos in Japan earlier this year. The company hasn't slowed down since its roll-out of bizarre flavors. Most Doritos in Japan are typical Doritos like "Dorito-flavored." Yet, like Kit Kats, Doritos also get an array of interesting flavors in Japan. Most are strict "kikan gentei" or "for a limited time only." At the same time, their short run on store sleeves still leaves a great impression worldwide for many flavors.
