The moment I opened the bag, that buttery aroma with a hint of savory soy sauce hit me, and I knew I was in for something good. The flavor is really well-balanced. You get that rich, creamy butter taste (made with Hokkaido butter, by the way!) paired with the umami kick of soy sauce. It’s not too salty, and there’s just enough seasoning on each piece to keep you going back for more. I found it surprisingly addictive — I meant to have just a few bites but ended up eating half the bag in one go. It’s definitely something I’ll keep buying — perfect for movie nights, lazy afternoons, or just whenever I want a light but flavorful snack.

Another thing I like about this popcorn is how light it feels. It’s not greasy at all, and it has a nice crisp texture. Plus, the packaging mentions it’s packed with dietary fiber, equivalent to about two servings of lettuce, which made me feel a little less guilty about snacking. Gotta love a snack that’s tasty and gives you a little extra fiber boost. Overall, I think Mike Popcorn’s Butter Shoyu flavor is a fun and unique twist on regular popcorn. If you’re a fan of savory snacks and Japanese flavors, this one’s worth trying!
