In an exciting collaboration with Calbee, Labbrand, the chosen partner, is proud to unveil the Chinese product naming for Japan’s best-selling snacks, JagaRico and TomoRico. JagaRico, a popular potato snack, has secured its position as the top-selling snack in Japan. Paired with its counterpart, TomoRico, a delightful corn snack, both products are now available on Calbee Tmall International, the official online store hosted on China’s largest e-commerce platform.

Labbrand created the Chinese product names 薯哆口 [shǔ duō kǒu] and 玉米哆口 [yù mǐ duō kǒu] for JagaRico and TomoRico. The new names will help raise additional awareness for the popular snacks in China and familiarize the Chinese consumers with the Japanese snack manufacturer. In the future, Calbee aims to continually bring taste and fun by introducing its high-quality and innovative snack products to China and build brand awareness in the region.

JagaRico and TomoRico, with their brand-new Chinese product names, are slated to be launched on Calbee’s Tmall store on October 2019.
