As someone who has been spoiled by the delicious rice crackers and senbei sent by relatives from Niigata, the rice-producing region of Japan, my palate has become quite refined. The rice crackers at the supermarket just don't satisfy me anymore... Wandering around the neighborhood in search of a good senbei shop, I stumbled upon this gem! Not only are the flavors excellent, but they use organic rice that's completely additive-free, showing a real commitment to quality ingredients! It's perfect for families with children, and they even have "kids' senbei" for toddlers! They have both traditional, retro-style packaging and modern, trendy packaging, so there's something for everyone. The broken rice crackers and "Kujuku" are reasonably priced and make great snacks for the whole family. The shop also has a charming, warm atmosphere thanks to the friendly proprietress. They even have a day each month where you can grab a handful of sweets, showing their dedication to making customers happy. I love this kind of thing! My favorite senbei are the sweet and savory "anko okaki" (sweet bean paste rice cracker), the "kaki no tane" (persimmon seeds), and the "yakimazari Kujuku" (mixed baked rice crackers) with its variety of flavors. Meow!
I was looking for a gift that was additive-free and pesticide-free. This shop's organic rice crackers are completely additive-free, even the seasonings. I did some research, but couldn't find any other rice cracker shops that were as thorough, so I was glad to find this one. The shop itself is quite small.
I saw a flag advertising 'additive-free rice crackers,' so I stopped by on my walk. (^^) The inside is a bit narrow. You can probably bring a stroller, but it might be a bit inconvenient if there are other customers. They also have gift sets of rice crackers. Sometimes they sell broken rice crackers at a discount outside the store, like an outlet. They have a variety of rice crackers, so I recommend them for home use or as gifts.
These rice crackers are made without any unnecessary additives, just pure goodness! ❤️ I had some after dinner as a little snack with my drink, and they were so delicious I ended up eating the whole bag! 💦
They sell truly delicious rice crackers. They are a bit pricey and considered a luxury item, but the quality is undeniable, making you feel like you've found the real deal. You can pay with PayPay.
