Comments:
Fun shop to browse in if you're a Calbee fan.
Revisited this place in March this year and found almost all products were different to what they had a year ago.  Guess it makes it all worthwhile to stop by each Tokyo trip to pick up the latest Calbee goodies.

first visit in Jan 2012

1F

can order freshly made chips here

various toppings available for ordering (either thin or thick cut)

Calbee frying in action

塩バター薄切り Salted butter thin cut JPY220 (fried to order)

2F

a few tables available on the 2nd floor for dining in

korean seaweed-flavoured Jagariko, and Jagariko plastic lids - now these are useful to seal the cup when you can't finish the whole Jagariko

salted rice chips (left) which tastes a bit like the crisps you sometimes get in chinese congee, and sweet potato chips (right)

vegetable chips

Jagariko mini packs - (left to right) chicken wing, takoyaki, curry flavour

check this out - a personal chip tong! can also use to seal the chip packet

picked these up on my Mar 2013 revisit - different flavoured mini shrimp crackers

and also these Sweet Potato fries - yum!

(ロイスのチョコ味) Royce chocolate chips (right) - yummy as expected (ヒーハー！！W) Hi-ha W chips (left) - not sure what this actually a was but the found the seasoning a bit nose choking

Comments:
If you're visiting Harajuku for the first time, you should take a walk through this street just to do some people watching and get a feel of the Harajuku culture even if you're not that interested in the shops there (most of the stuff they sell there are pretty loud...).  You will be able to exit back to the main street on Meiji Dori if you keep walking along the way.
