A local Japanese woman describes her experience with the viral Belgian fries at De Frites Staan Harajuku in Tokyo. Natsuki Gojo, known for her self-control, finds herself unable to resist the temptation of potato chips, leading to an overwhelming craving for them. The store, specializing in thick-cut French fries served in a cone, caught her attention on her feed.
Despite the dine-in menu including meat and only allowing takeout orders for fries, she decided to purchase a small size for 1,188 yen (US$7.90). She opted for the "Mayonnaise & Truffle" sauce, which added an additional 270 yen to her order. The fries arrived beautifully presented in a bright red cone, and Natsuki was immediately impressed by their appearance.
Upon tasting the fries, she discovered a crispy exterior with a light and fluffy interior, complemented by the aroma of the potato skins. Dipping the fries in the creamy Mayonnaise & Truffle sauce enhanced the flavor, creating a moreish experience. Despite the messiness of the sauce, Natsuki found the entire experience utterly delicious.
The only downside was the grease on her hands, but she resolved to embrace the sauciness. Several days later, Natsuki still can't forget the memorable taste of the crispy exterior and fluffy interior, and her friend is eager to return for another visit.
