Chip Star (off-brand Pringles) in an unusual flavor 江戸前風しょうゆ, or Pre-Edo Soy Sauce! Now, the Edo period started in 1603 so this is not your image of soy sauce; it is, in fact, very fishy. Strong bonito flavor. Wouldn’t get it again, but I do enjoy the packaging design!

The Ukiyo-e.org database and image similarity analysis engine, created by John Resig to aide researchers in the study of Japanese woodblock prints, was launched in December 2012.

An amazing resource of prints and palettes that I have to remember exists.
