While Shibuya boasts some of Tokyo's most popular and tasty restaurants, you might not find one with a more fitting name than Golden Potato Lard. The French fry specialty takeout store offers a number of fried treats, but their latest one-handed snack could be considered a Holy Grail of Tokyo junk food. The French fry stand has decided to introduce a new one-handed crunchy snack that wraps mashed potatoes in a tortilla and then deep fries it--the Age-tilla!
The Age-tilla (a combination of "ageru," the Japanese word for "fry" and "tortilla") is shaped like a giant spring roll, and meant to be enjoyed as a one-handed crispy street snack complemented by the texture of mashed potatoes, and comes in three different flavors.
Potato pizza with whole sausage
A pizza-flavored Age-tilla stuffed with a whole sausage and tomato sauce-infused mashed potatoes, then topped with parsley, cheese sauce, and "god spice."
Melted cheese
An Age-tilla stuffed with Genovese mashed potatoes and gooey shredded cheese, sour cream and onion sauce, then topped with black pepper and cheese sauce.
Dessert chocolate
A sweets take on the Age-tilla, filled with hite chocolate "mash" infused with bitter chocolate, then drizzled with chocolate sauce and topped with crushed almonds.
All wraps are priced at 500 yen, and according to the store's lore, are brought to you by the Potato God, who descended from the ancient potato kingdom to spread the deliciousness of potatoes in Shibuya.
