For those unfamiliar, Japanese-style peanuts – also known as cacahuates japoneses or maní japonés – were originally invented by Japanese immigrants in Mexico. The snack consists of dry-roasted peanuts coated in a savory seasoning and flour-based batter. The peanuts are then cooked until they’re exceptionally crunchy, making them an addictive snack option.
Trader Joe’s own Crispy Crunchy Coated Peanuts features a wheat-and-rice-flour coating that includes a hint of soy sauce in the mix. This gives the peanuts the same sweet and salty flavor you might expect, but with a hint of umami throughout. This makes the peanuts perfect for pairing with an ice cold pint or a tall glass of iced tea.
