Top 5 Senbei (Rice Crackers)

2023-09-12
Senbei are rice crackers made by kneading grain flours such as wheat or rice, then thinly spreading and baking them. In Japan, they are strongly recognized as traditional snacks, and their hard texture is their main appeal. The okaki I will introduce this time is not strictly Senbei (because the ingredients differ), but they fall under the same category, so I will introduce them as Senbei!

You might be thinking, 'Senbei?' But category-wise, these are Senbei, so allow me to introduce them. They're incredibly delicious.

These are rice crackers flavored with the spiciness of chili peppers and the salty taste of soy sauce. The name comes from their resemblance, in both color and shape, to persimmon seeds! The harmony of the salty soy sauce and the mild salted peanuts that come with it is excellent. These are more of a snack for adults to enjoy while drinking alcohol rather than a casual snack. The individual packaging is also a plus!

I'm speaking metaphorically, but it's truly delicious! There are various flavor variations, but either way, the characteristic 'Happy Powder' of Happy Turn is salty and tasty, making it easy to eat multiple pieces! The size is a bit on the smaller side, making it easy to eat in one bite, which is a plus. It's delicious!

The rice crackers I introduced earlier were incredibly delicious, but they weren't quite what you'd call traditional senbei. So, this time, I'm going to introduce the ultimate senbei! Among them, I'm recommending one that has a nice salty flavor.

This senbei has the typical shape, saltiness, and hardness that you'd expect, but what makes it even better is the dashi fish stock flavor! It's hard, salty, and delicious! These three points make it absolutely perfect!

I'm also a big fan of 'Shinagawa Maki,' which are seasoned salty with soy sauce and have nori seaweed as an accent. I'd like to introduce them!

Technically, these aren't senbei but okaki in terms of classification. However, like senbei, they are hard and you can enjoy their saltiness! They're small, making it easy to eat them in one bite, and you're less likely to drop pieces. Peeling off the nori seaweed in your mouth is also incredibly tasty, so I recommend it!

Uh-huh...... You might be thinking, 'Is she introducing this for the second time?' You're absolutely right. I've introduced this type of snack in my 'Top 5 Cheese Snacks' category as well.

But this is really delicious. Soy sauce and cheese, the best combination. The saltiness of the soy sauce and the richness of the Camembert cheese make for a truly delicious pairing! I started eating it recently, and the cheese just melts in your mouth the moment you put it in! It's fantastic! It also goes great with alcohol, so I highly recommend everyone try it!
