I’m a big fan of anything spicey so the idea of this snack appeals to me greatly…
Tyrant Habanero “Who came back”
The packaging looks really dark and not traditionally appealing… unless you are always on the look out for things to blow your taste buds.
I think because hes the tyrant who “came back” and the reference to 2013 means that this was a line of products avaliable a while ago which has made a come-back.
The design is very simple and uses warm, hot colours to draw you in. The tyrant himself is also a bit cute (though I don’t think he means to be!)
Colour contrast to the front the back is completely white, I like that that they have done it this way rather than trying to continue the black setting and the writing being in white and hard to read.
Not really much else to say about the back so lets move on…

As soon as I cut the bag along the top you can smell this rich strong smell of spice, it isn’t really one specifically but my mouth is ready for this.
There are lots and lots and lots of little individual rings inside, they are a deep orangy yellow colour – much darker than you would usually expect.
Right im ready, time to taste…

SO GOOD.
They are thin and crispy, not too thick and they have a really nice slightly rough texture. The flavour is phenomonal. You can put one in your mouth, chew it, swallow it and only then does it kick in. The aftertaste is intense and sets your mouth on fire – but it makes you want to go back for more immediately!!
I bought some on ebay and then I also got some as part of a monthly subscription box (bonus!!)
Lots of different listings on eBay, this is the cheapest for one bag but you can buy multiple bags for discounts – http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/came-back-Tyrant-Habanero-56g-Tohato-F-S-Japan-Snack-/161705938358?hash=item25a66ccdb6:g:9h8AAOSwBahVVeV-
