Komori Met Wins Blindfold Snack Taste-Test Contest on Kurumi Noah’s Stream
Four VSpo members named flavors of Pritz, KitKat and a 24-item snack series by taste alone, and the winner was allowed to take her favorite snacks home.
VSPO — Komori Met won a four-person snack taste-test contest on Kurumi Noah’s channel, taking the final point after a mid-contest solo win. The stream, titled as a VSpo off-collab to crown the “snack king,” also featured Kaga Sumire and Choya Hanabi.
The rules, laid out at the start, were built around memory. For each question the participants studied a lineup of flavors for a set time, then were blindfolded while a staff member fed them one item at random. They then wrote the product’s official name on a flip board, and anyone who got it right earned a point. Six questions were planned: two on Pritz, which came in nine varieties, two on KitKat with 14, and two on a 24-item snack series. The winner would be allowed to choose a favorite snack to take home.
“I’m taking all of it home. I love it so much.” — Komori Met, after being named champion
In the first round, the answers split over a Tokyo-style monja flavor, with several participants unable to place the taste at all and two earning points after the host judged their wording acceptable. Every participant then wrote the same Hokkaido butter answer in the next round. In the KitKat questions, one participant’s lemon answer was rejected flatly by the others, and a green-tea question divided them between roasted tea and matcha before a roasted-tea answer was ruled correct.
The 24-item round was the turning point. Met was the only participant to answer correctly, and the others reacted with admiration. In the final question Met again had the closest answer and was named champion. Told she could choose any snacks, and as many as she liked, Met said she was a big fan of Pritz and would take all of it home.
In closing remarks, one participant said they usually buy the same flavor every time and planned to try others after the contest, while another said they would buy everything they had missed. The group said they wanted to repeat the format with sweets, including convenience-store desserts.
