About Sapporo Potato
Sapporo Potato was launched in 1972 as Calbee's first snack made from fresh potatoes, named after Sapporo in the potato-growing prefecture of Hokkaido. A barbecue version followed in 1974, its name written in Japanese except for the final Q of BBQ, a choice Calbee made so the product would be distinctive and easy to remember.
