Yuki no Yado

A crispy, lightly salted senbei topped with a sweet and salty Hokkaido cream-based milk glaze. A long-time bestseller and a signature snack of Sanko Seika! There’s even a karinto-style version, and in recent years, they’ve introduced various limited-time flavors!

Niigata Jikomi

A crispy and grainy-textured senbei designed to enhance the natural flavor of rice with every bite! By leaving some rice grains intact and rolling the dough thin before baking, it achieves a light, crunchy texture.

Parinko

Easy to eat, even for small children! This senbei easily snaps apart with a satisfying “crunch!” and melts smoothly in your mouth. Seasoned with three types of salt that dissolve at different speeds and a touch of powdered soy sauce for depth of flavor!

Maru Daizu Senbei

Packed with black soybeans! This hard-baked senbei once held the record for top sales in its category. With a rich soy sauce flavor, nutritious black soybeans, and a satisfyingly firm crunch, it’s a fan favorite!

ZAKUZA Craft Rice Chips

Potato chips? Nope, it’s senbei! Made by rolling rice thin like potato chips and seasoning with salt and seaweed salt, these rice chips are even lighter and easier to eat than potato chips! A trending rice snack!

Cheese Almond

Soy sauce senbei! Cheese! Whole almonds! A beloved snack among sake lovers, this classic treat offers a savory, rich, and satisfying crunch!
